Končni rezultat v obliki grafičnega lista mora biti prepričljiv kot iluzija realnosti in delovati logično, zato je med drugim potrebno obvladovanje likovne teorije. Poznati moram tudi fizične lastnosti človeške figure in prostora. Treba je biti pozoren na lastnosti in učinke različnih svetlobnih virov, naravnih in umetnih. Raziskovanje svetlobe je pomembno, da zajamem emocionalno nabit trenutek, ki stimulira gledalca. Na moje delo je najbolj vplival ogled razstave Rembrandtovih grafik v Dulwich Picture Gallery v Londonu januarja 2020. Njegove študije učinkov svetlobe so zelo dobri učni primeri. V mojem nadaljnjem študiju grafike me še posebej zanimata fotografija in uporaba tehnologije v tradicionalnih grafičnih tehnikah. Ideja spojitve več fotografij izhaja iz moje grafike z naslovom Mama, ata in pes iz leta 2017. Nove motive izbiram iz lastnega fotografskega arhiva. Na grafikah upodabljam družino, prijatelje … v okolju, ki ga pogrešam. Predvsem pa me zanima, kako v realističnem upodabljanju prikazati trenutek v trajanju. The end result in the form of a print must be convincing as the illusion of reality and it has to be logical. This is why it is necessary to understand basics of theory of art. It is important to know physical properties of the human figure and space and be aware of the effect of various light sources either natural or artificial. Researching light is crucial when dealing with emotionally charged moment which stimulates the viewer. My work was mainly influenced by the exhibition of Rembrandt’s prints which I have seen in Dulwich Picture Gallery in London in 2020. His study of light is a perfect example. In my own study of printmaking I was especially interested in the use of photography in combination with traditional printing techniques. The idea of making picture out of several photographs was first applied in my work entitled “Mom, Dad and a Dog” printed in 2017. Since then I have used my own photo archive to create new work. Themes I choose I select from photographs I took of family, friends and gatherings I have been part of. Most of all I aim to find a lasting moment in whatever situation.
