Most of his subjects are celebrity portraits, every day life subjects, cityscapes and marine life. He uses magnifying glass and sometimes even a needle when creating his paintings. He uses brushes only and creates painting in a traditional way without air brush. Most of his portraits are done in large format in blue color/ tones. It takes several months for Zeljko to finish a painting. His paintings hang in World Financial Center in New York and in Save The Titanic Foundation in Los Angeles.
