Croatia Hotel's Abandoned Front Entrance | Limited Edition of 10
Weathered Grand Entrance With Broken Glass And Debris
The first thing I noticed when I stepped inside was the silence. Not the peaceful kind, but the hollow, echoing sort that seems to linger in places that have been left behind for far too long. This abandoned hotel entrance in Croatia still carried the posture of something that once mattered. A tall arched doorway framed by decorative columns stood at the centre of the space, though time had stripped away much of its dignity. The plaster was peeling in layers, exposing cracked surfaces beneath, while fractured glass clung to the wooden door panels like a memory refusing to let go.
The architecture's symmetry was still there if you looked closely enough. Ornamental mouldings ran across the top of the entrance, now warped and broken, while graffiti marked the walls in small patches. The floor beneath my feet was scattered with debris – splintered wood, loose masonry, dust that had clearly not been disturbed in years. Even the door itself hung unevenly, one side slightly ajar as though someone had walked through decades ago and never returned.
I photographed this on location while exploring Croatia’s lesser-known architectural remnants, drawn in by the mix of faded elegance and structural decay that defines so many forgotten spaces across the region. Standing in that entryway felt like standing between two timelines – one where guests once passed through in formal attire, and another where only wind and silence now move through.
Each print is produced using archival pigment inks on museum-quality archival paper and is personally signed by me on the reverse. A certificate of authenticity is also included to accompany the edition.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
