The painting Eyes belongs to the series titled “The Darkness of the Museum”, which the artist created while working at the Museum of Modern Art in Dubrovnik. Spending time alone among artworks after hours, Ivanković became aware of a strange transformation that happens once the lights go out and silence takes over.

In the absence of daylight and human presence, paintings, sculptures, and everyday museum objects seem to lose their fixed meanings. Familiar forms slip into ambiguity, acquiring new, sometimes unsettling identities. Shadows grow deeper, spaces stretch or dissolve, and what was once clearly “art” in the eyes of visitors begins to exist as something entirely different—a silent, living presence.

Ivanković’s series explores this dual life of objects: the visible, public role they play by day, and the hidden, almost dreamlike nature they reveal at night. His paintings are both an observation and an invitation to consider how meaning is shaped not only by what we see—but by when, where, and how we encounter it.
