Very Demure, Very Mindful Poster

Our Balkan Legends collection brings you iconic Balkan artworks reimagined with a modern, witty flair. In this edition, we add a fresh twist to Girl Crowned with Blossoms by Mersad Berber, blending his classic, serene portraiture with contemporary humor.

Original Artwork: Girl Crowned with Blossoms (1977)
Artist: Mersad Berber

Renowned for his exquisite depictions of Balkan heritage, Mersad Berber was a Bosnian artist celebrated for his intricate, haunting portraits and unique blending of traditional and modern aesthetics. His work often evokes the history, beauty, and resilience of the Balkan region, mixing symbolic elements with surrealism. In Girl Crowned with Blossoms, Berber presents a portrait that radiates calmness and natural grace, capturing an idealized young woman adorned with blossoms that symbolize purity and mindfulness.

Balkanish Edition: Girl Crowned with Blossoms – “Very Demure, Very Mindful”

In this Balkanish Edition, we’ve added the cheeky phrase “Very Demure, Very Mindful” in vibrant neon lime green. This playful addition contrasts with the portrait’s quiet elegance and plays into the subject’s deep gaze—she could easily be having a chill moment or be on the verge of a mental breakdown. We’ll never know, but one thing’s for sure: she’s got that demure look down. This fresh, humorous take on serenity and mystery brings a touch of ironic charm to Berber’s classic composition, balancing the elegance of the past with the quirks of today.
