Biography:
Lovro Peretić (1995) is an internationally acclaimed classical musician and guitarist from Zagreb. He began learning the guitar at a young age under the guidance of Professor Xhevdet Sahatxhija. Later, he completed his undergraduate studies at the Music Academy in Zagreb under the tutelage of Professor Darko Petrinjak. During his studies in Zagreb, he spent a year on a student exchange program in France (Lille), studying at L’École Supérieure Musique et Danse Hauts-de-France under the mentorship of Professor Judicaël Perroy. Subsequently, he completed his studies in Switzerland at the Haute école de musique de Genève.
He has won numerous awards at various music competitions including the Guitar Foundation of America (USA), Eurostrings Guitar Competition, Changsha International Guitar Competition (China), Liechtensteiner Gitarrentage (Liechtenstein), Fernando Sor in Rome (Italy), Boris Papandopulo in Zagreb, Zagreb Guitar Festival, Antwerpen Guitar Festival (Belgium), Andrés Segovia in Velbert (Germany), Anna Amalia in Weimar (Germany), Enrico Mercatali in Gorizia (Italy), Ida Presti in Samobor, Volos Guitar Festival (Greece), Concours international de guitare d'Antony (France), Brussels International Guitar Competition (Belgium).
He emerged as the winner of the third Eurostrings competition, leading to numerous concerts and lectures at music festivals across Europe. His most recent and significant achievement was winning the Guitar Foundation of America competition in the United States, which resulted in his debut recording for the prestigious record label Naxos at the end of last year. In September of this year, he commenced a major concert tour featuring around 50 concerts in the US and Canada, scheduled to run until the summer of 2024.
Apart from his work as a soloist, he actively participates in various chamber ensembles. One notable ensemble is the guitar trio "Evocación," with whom he released his first recording two years ago. As a soloist, he has collaborated with the Zagreb Soloists, the Symphony Orchestra of the Croatian Radiotelevision, and the Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra.
I find exploring visual ideas through observation easier to approach when there is a familiar situation to start from. A small choice of colour or viewpoint can change the feeling of an image. That thought gives me a starting point for exploring creative visual expression in connection with Distinctivefocus. That is the part I would keep thinking about after moving on to something else. How would you describe that change to someone who has not seen the work?
The idea of exploring visual ideas through observation gives me a reason to slow down and consider the details. A small choice of colour or viewpoint can change the feeling of an image. With Discoveratlantachineseart in mind, creative visual expression feels like a topic worth exploring one question at a time. I would rather explore one useful example carefully than pretend that the whole subject is already clear. How would you describe that change to someone who has not seen the work?
I like thinking about understanding materials and practical workshop tasks through small observations rather than trying to reach a conclusion immediately. Knowing what a component needs to do can make choosing a material easier to discuss. That practical perspective helps me frame practical technical skills as a theme for Bighornsheetmetal. I would rather explore one useful example carefully than pretend that the whole subject is already clear. Which questions should come before comparing different technical options?
A place name such as Stobierna makes me curious about the stories people connect with it. Familiar routes, school memories, and changes in shared spaces can each offer a starting point for learning. That is what I associate with Stobierna local stories. I like questions that invite the ordinary details rather than only the most impressive event. Students can learn from comparing accounts and explaining what each one helps them understand about a place whose name they already know.
