The Family Behind the Art

This is us. Four people standing in front of forty years of work.
The man on the left is Dusko Pavic, our father. He has been painting in oil since his days at the Art Academy in Sarajevo, and he has not stopped since. He moved to Germany in 1985, built a studio, then a gallery, then a body of work that spans decades and walls across Europe. Galerie Monti in Limburg an der Lahn is where his paintings live when they are not in someone's home.
His process has never been tidy. He paints with his hands when the brush is not enough. He works from feeling, not from plan. The floor of his studio is forty years of evidence.
KOTIMONDU started as a conversation between father and son. Dusko had originals that deserved to reach more walls than a single gallery could offer. Timon grew up in that gallery, knows how the light should catch the oil, and spent months figuring out how to capture it on canvas without losing what makes the original worth looking at.
What came out of that conversation is what you are looking at now.
Every print is produced in our studio in Limburg. We use museum-grade canvas, archival inks, and hand-apply a satin varnish to every piece before it leaves. It is then wrapped in tissue and sealed with our wax stamp.
No warehouse. No algorithm. Just a family that takes this seriously.
