Ko se ustvarjalnost rokuje z likovnimi slogi
Ustvarjalnost je lepilo med idejo in uresničeno formo. Je vitalni del v procesu nastajanja ilustracije, knjige. Polega tega pa je, vsaj kar se mene tiče, pomemben del tudi moje doživljanje sveta in odnos do njega.
Ko rišem, to, kar me dela tako kot sem, nenehno odzvanja v mojem delu. To hkrati pomeni tudi, da ko se spreminjam, ko rastem (vsaj upam, da osebnostno rastem!), se s tem spremeni tudi moj likovni izraz. Moje delo se izraža v različnih tehnikah, včasih tudi slogih. In tega nisem nikoli zavirala. Ravno nasprotno, še bolj bi se rada odprla vsemu, kar je likovno mogoče doseči v ilustraciji. Četudi gre za majhne korake, so zame osebno veliki.
Načeloma prejmem pohvale, ker se znam preleviti še v kakšen drug slog. Včasih slišim pa tudi kaj drugega. Pomembno se mi zdi, da negujem svoj ustvarjalni plamen, sicer se bom začela dolgočasiti. Rada raziskujem, moje delo ima smisel, ko ostaja živo.

Where Creativity Meets Style
Creativity is a vital part of the process of making an illustration—or a book.
But beyond that, at least for me, it’s also deeply connected to how I experience the world and my relationship with it.
When I draw, everything that makes me who I am constantly echoes through my work. That also means that as I change and grow (hopefully I grow in a personal sense!), my artistic expression evolves with me.
My work comes to life through different techniques, and sometimes even in various styles. I’ve never tried to suppress that. Quite the opposite—I want to open myself even more to everything that’s creatively possible within illustration. Even if the steps feel small, to me, they’re significant.
Most of the time, I get compliments for being able to shift into different styles. But every now and then, I hear other kinds of feedback too. What matters most to me is keeping my creative spark alive—otherwise, I’d start to feel bored. I love exploring. My work has meaning when it stays alive.
