Artist Statement
This is a big size drawing, combination of graphite pencil and pastel pencil.
My fascination was in fine silhouettes of leaves and flowers of roses and the whole range of delicate shades. Created after my photo.
My source of 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 my work unique is very carefully defined composition where motif vary from image to pattern and offer close look to inner spaces.
Beside composition there is texture, which is also essential for my work, reflecting a character of each motif and adding dimension of sensuality.
Thank you for your precious interest.

Artist Profile
Hometown: Ljubljana
Based in: Ljubljana
I was born in Croatia. I graduated in painting from the Ljubljana Academy of Fine Arts . Today I live in Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia
My main occupations are drawing and teaching.
I teach art on private schools and run art courses and workshops. Also write about art, in 2011, I published practical book »From drawing to painting«
which was recently sold out.
Last few years my main occupation is drawing. I achieve optimal expression using and mastering classical drawing techniques as graphite pencil, charcoal, ink and pastel.
Source of my inspiration is fascination with rhythms created by variety of forms in nature.
To emphasize all that rhythms I usually place my motifs into carefully defined cut-out compositions in which they vary from image to pattern or offer close look to inner spaces.
I am also very interested in ornament as a way of visual expressing of ideas; in this point I explore relation between realistic and abstract concept and between image and pattern.
