I’m Oli, and behind the name maliOli PHOTO art is a childhood memory — my grandmother used to call me "little Oli", a name that still carries warmth, honesty, and connection to the past.

Photography is my escape and my return. It’s more than a hobby — it’s a space where I search for meaning, stillness, light, and the transitions of life. I'm drawn to moments that speak without words — impermanence, nature, shadows, and subtle details.

Through my work, I explore how a single frame can express an emotion, a thought, or a memory. My photographs aren’t just scenes — they are questions, reflections, and fragments of memory.

Welcome to my world — the world of little Oli with a big passion for art photography.

 

Ich bin Oli, und hinter dem Namen maliOli PHOTO art steckt eine Kindheitserinnerung – meine Großmutter nannte mich "kleiner Oli". Dieser Name trägt für mich noch heute Wärme, Ehrlichkeit und eine Verbindung zur Vergangenheit.

Fotografie ist mein Rückzugsort und mein Weg zurück. Sie ist mehr als ein Hobby – ein Raum, in dem ich nach Bedeutung, Stille, Licht und Übergängen im Leben suche. Mich faszinieren Momente, die ohne Worte sprechen – Vergänglichkeit, Natur, Schatten und feine Details.

Durch meine Arbeit erkunde ich, wie ein einzelnes Bild Emotion, Gedanken oder Erinnerung einfangen kann. Meine Fotos sind nicht nur Szenen – sie sind Fragen, Spiegel und Erinnerungsfragmente.

Willkommen in meiner Welt – der Welt des kleinen Oli mit großer Leidenschaft für künstlerische Fotografie.

 

Je suis Oli, et derrière le nom maliOli PHOTO art se cache un souvenir d’enfance — ma grand-mère m’appelait “petit Oli”, un surnom qui évoque encore pour moi la tendresse, la sincérité et le lien au passé.

La photographie est à la fois mon refuge et mon point de retour. Ce n’est pas qu’un passe-temps — c’est un espace où je cherche du sens, du silence, de la lumière et les transitions de la vie. Je suis attiré par les instants qui parlent sans mots — l’impermanence, la nature, les ombres et les détails discrets.

À travers mon travail, j’explore comment un seul cadre peut exprimer une émotion, une pensée ou un souvenir. Mes photos ne sont pas seulement des scènes — ce sont des questions, des reflets, des fragments de mémoire.

Bienvenue dans mon monde — celui de petit Oli avec une grande passion pour la photographie artistique.

 

Sono Oli, e dietro il nome maliOli PHOTO art c’è un ricordo d’infanzia — mia nonna mi chiamava “piccolo Oli”, un soprannome che ancora oggi evoca in me calore, sincerità e legame con il passato.

La fotografia è il mio rifugio e il mio ritorno. Non è solo un hobby — è uno spazio in cui cerco significato, silenzio, luce e i passaggi della vita. Mi attirano i momenti che parlano senza parole — la transitorietà, la natura, le ombre e i dettagli nascosti.

Attraverso il mio lavoro esploro come un singolo scatto possa esprimere un’emozione, un pensiero o un ricordo. Le mie fotografie non sono solo immagini — sono domande, riflessi, frammenti di memoria.

Benvenuto nel mio mondo — il mondo del piccolo Oli con una grande passione per la fotografia artistica.

 

Soy Oli, y detrás del nombre maliOli PHOTO art hay un recuerdo de infancia: mi abuela solía llamarme "pequeño Oli", un apodo que aún hoy me transmite calidez, sinceridad y conexión con el pasado.

La fotografía es mi escape y mi regreso. Es más que un pasatiempo: es un espacio donde busco sentido, silencio, luz y las transiciones de la vida. Me atraen los momentos que hablan sin palabras: lo efímero, la naturaleza, las sombras y los detalles sutiles.

A través de mi trabajo, exploro cómo un solo encuadre puede expresar una emoción, un pensamiento o un recuerdo. Mis fotografías no son solo escenas: son preguntas, reflejos y fragmentos de memoria.

Bienvenido a mi mundo — el mundo del pequeño Oli con una gran pasión por la fotografía artística.

  

Ja sam Oli, a iza pseudonima maliOli PHOTO art stoji priča iz djetinjstva — baka me zvala “mali Oli”, i taj nadimak danas sa sobom nosi nježnost, iskrenost i povezanost s prošlošću.

Fotografija je moj bijeg i moj povratak. Nije mi samo hobi, već prostor u kojem tražim smisao, tišinu, svjetlo i životne prijelaze. Zanimaju me motivi koji pričaju priče bez riječi — prolaznost, priroda, sjene, detalji koje mnogi zaobiđu.

Kroz svoj rad istražujem kako jedan kadar može sažeti emociju, misao ili sjećanje. Moje fotografije nisu samo prizori — one su pitanja, zrcala i uspomene.

Dobrodošli u moj svijet — svijet malog Olija s velikom strašću za art fotografiju.

Oliver has a nice testimonials in english so I'll continue on our language. Oliver=strast, novo značenje imena no iz svake fotografije ovdje nazočne vidljiva je njegova duboka strast prema fotografiji. Potrebna je izražena naklonost hobiju da se baš svaki dan nešto napravi, nešto novo, nešto lijepo. Raznolikost motiva koje "Mali Oli" odlično prenosi u ovaj medij pokazuje svu njegovu rezonanciju sa okolišem, bili to sitni kukci, bilje ili krasni, široki, jadranski motivi ili oni s kontinenta . Pravo je zadovoljsto kopati po ovdje izdvojenim motivima, a "pratiti" ga je obveza svakoga tko voli pogledati nešto lijepo obojano tuđim duhom.

Prijatelju Oli, napisao si dosta lijepih stvari o meni, ali ovo ne treba shvatiti kao ljubaznost uzvraćanja. Kao i ti moje, tako i ja pratim tvoje fotke već godinama.

Prijatelju Oli, napisao si dosta lijepih stvari o meni, ali ovo ne treba shvatiti kao ljubaznost uzvraćanja. Kao i ti moje, tako i ja pratim tvoje fotke već godinama. Zapazio sam neke stvari, koje su me fascinirale i natjerale na praćenje: lakoća stvaranja kompozicije, unošenje mnogo atmosferičnosti u fotke, podjednak žar i umijeće u vrlo različitim žanrovima - od fotki konja i čamaca na rijekama do sportske fotografije, posvećenost blagim i bujnim pejzažima karlovačkoga kraja ali i oštrini i nabrijanosti krčkoga krša... Želim ti dobro svjetlo i mnogo dobra i sreće u životu.
