STJEPAN VRBANEC (1926-2018)

Stjepan Vrbanec was born in Zagreb in the former Yugoslavia. After losing his mother at a young age, he was taken care of by his father’s relatives. After the Second World War, he started working in construction, but he embraced art as his vocation from an early age. From the beginning, he was interested in the customs, culture, and natural and historical sights of his region. He was a passionate amateur archaeologist for some time, after which he started to study radioesthesia and radiology. All this time, he has followed events in the fields of science and technology. He is particularly fascinated by the human interest in space. Vrbanec was a tireless practitioner with a deep philosophical streak. In a more mature phase, he turned to spiritual knowledge, meditation and alternative arts, actively practising bioenergy treatment. He started deciphering the messages he received from space, as he used to say himself. Vrbanec died in Zagreb in 2018.
