The sculpture of a muscular man holding a rocket – the Shipbuilder – is a homage to the sculpture by Vinko Matković located at the entrance to the “3. Maj” shipyard.
Here's a post explaining more about the inspiration: https://futuricon.eu/news/behind-the-art-shipbuilder/

The color palette featured in the illustration is inspired by the colors of the sunset above the Kvarner bay, and the style is reminiscent of the 1920–era science fiction movie posters.
