Mahatma Gandhi and Kristian Krekovic connecting India and Croatia

Kristian Kreković (1901–1985), distinguished Croatian painter, is a unique phenomenon in the history of Croatian Art. His work connects in various ways Bosnia and Herzegovina, Austria, France, India, Peru, USA, Spain (and in particular Catalonia), Serbia, Sweden, Italy, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. His wife Sina (of the Jewish origin, fluent in eight languages, including Croatian and Quechua), sacrificed her pianistic career for her beloved husband. In this article we pay a special attention to Kreković’s projects of World Peace, including that of the New Renaissance and of the World Government. Mahatma Gandhi highly praised Kreković’s art. Their personal contacts can be traced at least since 1931, and in particular due to the portrait completed in 1936, during Gandhi’s meditation in Kreković’s atelier in Paris. It is now kept in the Museu Kreković in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Kreković’s Gallery in Palma has been solemnly opened in 1981 by the Spanish Queen Sofia.
