International Exhibition of Photography 2024

Davor Dolenčić

Davor Dolenčić, AFIAP, was born in 1971 in Čakovec and currently lives with his family in Lendava, Slovenia. His photographic activity is primarily focused on creative original photography. His photographs artfully capture moments in time. Nature motifs, cities, portraits, street life, the human body, conceptual photography, and studio experimentation all encompass his body of work. In his practice, he is simultaneously cultivating realistic figurative photography that is faithful to nature, and abstract photography that prioritizes vision over resemblance to nature.

Dolenčić is very active in promoting photography as an art form. Through his engagement and effort, he has connected and encouraged cooperation among photo clubs across Croatia, Hungary, and Slovenia, and realized several very successful international projects.

Since 2014 he has been organizing the international photo salon Pannonia Reflections under the patronage of FIAP (International Federation of Photographic Art), PSA (Photographic Society of America), and FZS (Photographic Association of Slovenia).
