The photo was taken during my stay in Zagreb (Croatia). This gentleman reminded me of Charles Darwin and when I saw what was written on the door, I immediately had to immortalize this incredible moment!
I was recently in Zagreb and I went to that coffee bar with my daughter.
I was hoping to find him, give him this photo and listen to his story.
I didn't see him, so I showed the waiter a photo and asked if he knew
him. He looked at the photo for a while, his voice became quiet.
He said he was a very good man, a painter from a noble family who gave up everything for the sake of art. It was obvious that he loved and
appreciated that gentleman very much. After that he stopped and said
he died last Christmas.
This news hit me hard. I stood at the bar without saying a word and
looked at the photo.. The silence was broken by the waiter's question:
"Could you please give me this photo? I would like to have it."
He took it and put it on the shelf and said that I made his day.
Unfortunately, this sad news did not brighten my day because I was
hoping for a different outcome. I came too late..
"Darwin", a favorite guest of a small Zagreb coffee bar, an
interesting gentleman who lived for art, is certainly now in a better
place. Rest in peace🙏
