Zeljka Paic In The Studio
In my opinion, having drawing and painting skills is very important, but the essential thing is to have thought-provoking and interesting ideas. Artists have to go deeper under the surface of form and color and to share their own philosophy, emotion, and energy.
What inspires you?
I find inspiration in architecture, geometry and nature. For enriching myself and my art I prefer traveling, reading, research, visiting museums, being surrounded by interesting people, and having a fulfilled life.
Describe your creative process.
The pleasant surrounding and peaceful environment are playing a significant role for my art related work. The studio is in the house where I live, so I can express myself artistically anytime. At the beginning of creating new artwork I usually make sketches and sometimes experiment with colors or materials. I find the title of the artwork very important and always spend some time thinking about it. Physical action during the painting process gives me a balance between body and mind.
