Illustration

I was pretty busy today, preparing works for a painting contest. My creative manner quite chaged in the last year. I began to feel a great enthusiasm fot illustration. Somethimes I felt that the illustration is less important than the classical painting. I'm pretty mistake made such comparison. I realized that it was not easy at all to make illustrations. It takes a very good knowledge of anatomy and also understand the substance of things to be able to simplify. Making puppets of cardboard, I began to feel unusual excitement I have never felt before. And I realized that I had found what I was looking for all along. Finally I feel complete freedom and the abillity to express myself artistically. All this is still at the beginning and I always expect something new to happen. Until then, here's a new peace.

Danas sam bila prilično zauzeta pripremajući radove za neki slikarski konkurs. Moj način stvaranja se prilično promenio u poslednjih godinu dana, a ilustracija mi je postala neobično bliska. Činilo mi se ranije da je ilustracija manje vredna i da nikad ne može da se poredi sa štafelajnim slikarstvom. Bila je to velika greška, praviti uopšte takva poređenja. Shvatila sam da baviti se ilustracijom nije nimalo lako, da ona zahteva savršeno poznavanje anatomije, da je potrebno razumeti i poznavati suštinu stvari da biste mogli da ih svedete i pojednostavite. Praveći lutkice od kartona počela sam da osećam neko čudnovato uzbuđenje koje nikad ranije nisam osećala. I shvatila sam da je to - to, da je to ono što sam sve ovo vreme pokušavala da nađem. Upravo ovde ja osećam potpunu slobodu i mogućnost da se izrazim kako želim. Sve je to još uvek u začetku i ja stalno očekujem da se desi nešto novo. A do tada evo jednog novog rada.
