A public work by Pero Jakšić
In his artist biography, Pero Jakšić explicitly lists the sculpture Ribar in Postira among his public works. It stands beside the local waterfront.
This is a separate work from Đani Martinić’s Fisherman of Milna. A shared motif and similar name do not mean that the sculptures have the same artist or reproduce the same composition.
The fisherman in the coastal setting
The figure is viewed as part of everyday coastal space, in relation to the sea and the path along the waterfront. Its dedication to a fisherman points to the work and life of the village, not to a monument to a named historical person.
The available artist catalogue confirms the work but does not give a reliable year of installation. The date should therefore not be inferred from the year an online photograph was created or when the map marker was added.
Access and visiting
The sculpture is marked in an outdoor area along the Postira coast. You can see it on a walk along the waterfront. Allow room for pedestrians and the use of the shore.
