A lot of his works are part of permanent exhibitions of  many museum, galleries and are part of private collections in Croatia and abroad (Slovenia, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Austria, Serbia, Turkey, England, Montenegro,  Spain, USA – California, Chile, Switzerland,  etc.) Hranuelli`s material and vital opus is directly connected to his origin, island of Brac.  Stone sculpture forms abstracted from figuration present mostly women (Venus) and  human figures in general, regularly in dialog  with tradition from prehistory over classical  antique times until the modern times. Vitality and exuberance carved into the stone,  and sometimes in other materials i.e. glass,  either in the small format sculptures or in  public character are features of Hranuelli`s  creativity. He is a member of HDLU (Croatian association of artists) since 2006. He lives  and works in Zagreb.
