Neven Kutnjak, an IT professor from Szentmarton, has donated a sculpture of Our Lady of Lourdes to the parish. The artist spent two full months working on the piece, crafting every detail by hand. His aim was to express his personal devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes.
The sculpture has been installed in the parish hall of St Martin’s parish in Szentmarton. The work stands out for its technical features, including integrated lighting effects and water elements. This approach blends traditional religious symbolism with modern aesthetic and technical achievements.
The work represents a significant contribution to the cultural and religious life of the local community. The donation to the parish underscores his dedication to religious values and his desire to share his artistic creations with the faithful. This gesture demonstrates how personal devotion can be expressed through creative work and technical precision.
The sculpture of Our Lady of Lourdes is now permanently housed in the parish hall, where it serves as a place for reflection and prayer. Its combination of hand-crafted details and modern effects makes it a unique example of contemporary sacred art in Međimurje. The project confirms that art can serve as a medium for expressing deep religious feelings and reverence.
