Piece description from the artist
In the last few years I developed a series of drawings and paintings from the motif of sea waves. Through the process they became more abstract and the motif itself acted as a field for the expression of different ideas, thoughts and emotions.
I still haven't exhausted it. I am interested in color harmonies for expressing different moods, at the same time trying to illustrate natural rhythms and movement.
My work is present in international online art galleries and published in art magazines as Spotlight Magazine from Circle Foundation, Artist Talk Magazine, ARTLO Magazine.
I live and work in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia.

INFLUENCE
She adores old cultures art as Mediaeval and Persian miniature painting, and authors from different art history periods. The very first influence was certainly her father who was an amateur painter.
And perhaps very big amount of freedom and nature in her childhood.
ABOUT WORK
In past years she was occupied with abstract painting and also mixed media painting (digital graphics combining classic techniques and computer interventions) and applied arts such as painting and printing on fabric.
Last few years the main occupation is drawing. She achieve optimal expression using and mastering classical drawing techniques as graphite pencil, charcoal, pen and ink and pastel.
Source of her inspiration are mostly natural forms, fascination with plants, flowers, trees and on the other side ornament as a way of visual expressing of ideas.
What makes her work unique is very carefully defined composition where motif vary from image to pattern and offer close look to inner spaces. And qualities of shape, space and light which create special atmosphere.
Beside composition there is texture, which is also essential in her drawings, reflecting a character of each motif and adding dimension of sensuality.
Her work is developing all the time and reaching for new techniques, approaches and contents, getting more and more appreciation and interest from art lovers over the world.
