venetian masks

These masks are made in Zagreb by sculptor Tihomir Marinkovic.  Tihomir learnt the art of mask making at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice over a period of 6 years.  He is one of Europe's finest mask artists and his creations take pride of place in many galleries and boutiques throughout the world.

The superior quality and original designs of Tihomir's masks mean they are in demand even in Venice, the 'home' of the carnival and masks.  He regularly supplies retailers in Venice and also Split, Trogir and Dubrovnik on the Adriatic Coast in Croatia.

Tihomir's studio is in Zagreb and his family assist him in creating these beautiful pieces of art.

The masks can be worn for carnivals and masked balls however we find that their beauty and originality is best displayed by placing the masks on a wall.  They make an exquisite decoration.

The masks are hand made.  Each one is individual and no two masks are the same.
