Unique gift · Egg tempera

A painting that lasts
for generations

An original artwork from the studio of the Dubrovnik painter Buco Pende — a gift that carries a memory of the City and an emotion that does not fade with time.

Original painting by Buco Pende — egg tempera

A gift that outlasts the moment

A bottle of wine gets opened, a box of chocolates gets eaten, a souvenir gets forgotten. An original artwork hangs on the wall for decades — and gains value over time instead of losing it.

Unique

No other painting like it exists. Each one is handmade, signed, one of a kind — unlike mass-produced gifts.

Lasting value

Egg tempera has been used since the 14th century. The colour does not fade, crack or yellow. The painting you give today will be readable in 200 years.

Emotional weight

A painting of Dubrovnik is a gift that tells a story — about a place, shared memories, and a person who thought carefully and chose this very motif.

For which occasion?

A painting is the right gift when you want to say: "this is not an obligatory gift, this shows I truly care".

01

Wedding

A gift the newlyweds keep on the wall for their entire marriage — unlike tableware that disappears into a drawer.

02

Anniversary

Silver, golden, diamond — a painting of the City where you met is a gesture that cannot be repeated.

03

Birthday

Milestone birthdays (30, 50, 60, 70) deserve a gift that does not end up in the bin two weeks later.

04

Retirement

Forty years of work deserve more than an envelope — a painting of Dubrovnik as a summary of a life.

05

Moving away

Friends leaving the City take a piece of the wall with them — a memory of the place they will always return to.

06

Business gift

Clients, partners, hotel guests — a painting as a gesture remembered longer than wine and catalogues.

07

Graduation

Children leave for university abroad — a painting of the City in their new apartment, a piece of home.

What people ask

How much does a painting by Buco Pende cost?
Prices vary depending on the size, complexity of the motif and framing. Since each painting is unique, the price is agreed upon individually. Send an inquiry for a specific painting and a reply with availability and pricing will follow shortly.
What is egg tempera?
Egg tempera is a painting technique over 500 years old — pigment is mixed with egg yolk emulsion and applied to the surface. Renaissance masters like Giotto, Botticelli and Piero della Francesca painted with it. The colour lasts for centuries without fading and develops a specific matte depth that oil cannot achieve.
