This is a service offer, but please read it! I was born on May 15. 1974. In Zadar, Dalmatian coast, Croatia. I finished stonemasons high school on islad Brac as best student on each year. School is kind of conservative type, it cherish roman stonemason tradition, stonemasonry ethics, tools and from time to time entering restoration projects. After Brac I have worked as chief stonemason and stonecarver (here in Europe there's no big difference between these two, there's only-"stonemason") on restoration of chatedral of St. Anastasia in Zadar (9-12 cent. protected by UNESCO), on partial restoration of chatedral of St. Jacob in Sibenik (protected by UNESCO) also in Croatia, as a conservator assistanton roman sculptures from roman site "Narona" near Dubrovnik and on more than 15 other sacral architectural objects with cultural value as a stonecarver-restaurator or just as a stonemason. All these works that I mentioned was supervised by a Republic bureau for preservation of cultural heritage. I have also worked in Florence and Rome, but it was private nature (like fountains, rosettes, fireplaces, and other decorative stone elements) Of course this is not much of a reference, it only showing skill. Most of the time I work with chissels, mallets and other traditional stonecarvers tools. Beside that I'm able to use electric cutters, saws, drills, sandguns, and pneumatic tools, but i prefer handwork. This is just a brief resume. Please contact me for more details if I match your criteria. And please be noticed that I'm now studying for a stone conservator-restaurator at the Academy of Fine Arts in Split, Croatia. I have 2 more years to diploma. . . Bye, and I hope to hear from you soon P. S. If you have questions on anything, feel free to contact me ! Notice that this is only "get to know" letter. All references, detailed descriptions of work, materials, wages, protos, spended hours, supervisors references, etc, etc, is available.
