...I was born in Belgrade/ Serbia in 1976 where I graduated at the University of fine Arts in 2001 as a Sculptor . Today I live in Chicago with my husband, where I work in art studio as the fine artist and as the graphic and web designer, too. My idea was to adjust and use my talent in various ways .
One of that ways was creating the illustrations and finishing them by computer programs in order to give the impression of air brush artwork. However, in the same time I like the to create miniatures out of clay, and traditional oil on canvas, aquarelle and acrylic paintings.
The possibilities that
computer programs can give to creative people are really unbelievable. The reason is in the huge advantage that modern technology have today. For example Photo Shop artistic tools are becoming more and more flexible, so they could be used today as much as traditional materials in fine arts.
Wnen creating, I am always coming back to the figuration through the study of the human body.
My drawings are there to present new characters which are going hold the action throughout the old stories that are alive even today in Greek myths and legends.
Paintings which are more expressive and less detailed than illustrations are like that because the material used is not letting me to follow the idea in the same way .
I like the "digital touch up"of my drawings ,because it saves time and it gives great variety of colors and composition. My Illustrations are computer generated pictures, where the presence of the vibrant colors are helping me to create the impression of a dreamy atmosphere .
Also I am Sculpturing my miniatures in clay , because the smaller size is helping me to control the composition and manipulate the shape.
That way I can achieve the monumental impression by simplifying the work,
so that the future projects could contain the same , but enlarged composition .
I realized that the strongest impressions usually can’t be described by words, but by nonverbal communication, where visual art belongs to .
The Great works of Art are reflecting not only our impressions about them but they are carrying the deepest wishes which are following every human being. That is why nobody can be completely indifferent during a moment alone while observing, for example the Leonardo’s Mona Lisa.
I came up with the conclusion that the Great Works of Art, made people spiritually enriched and that is the major contributors to our civilization.
