Philly-based artist Lilliana Didovic finds inspiration in the streetscapes and skylines of her adopted city (she was born in Croatia and lived in Bosnia before finding a home here). Her paintings depict city landmarks like the Betsy Ross House (one of Didovic’s renderings of this is in the possession of Mayor Michael Nutter), South Street, the Friendship Arch in Chinatown, and the Ben Franklin Bridge. Recent work has incorporated shining stones to capture the lights of the city. Didovic also has a series of paintings of the Philadelphia skyline that straddle a border between representative painting and abstract expressionism, with Philly skyscapes hovering surreally over single-color backgrounds.
Didovic's work has appeared in numerous galleries around town: Smile Gallery, Skylight 307, and the Davinci Art Alliance Gallery, among others. The paintings are affordable: many of them can be had for less than $1,000. For a cheaper option, consider purchasing a set of Didovic’s postcards of her art.
