Linearly thinned mass and spatial composition

Prikaz ljudske figure stalno je prisutan motiv u vizualnim umjetnostima još od prapovijesti. Svijest o sebi, o svojoj tjelesnosti, o pokretu i interakciji s drugima, manifestira se u nebrojenim skulpturama od paleolitskih Venera kao utjelovljenja plodnosti, preko idealiziranih helenističkih skulptura do suvremenih hiperrealističnih hibridnih vizija. Ljudsko tijelo je oduvijek u nama budilo osjećaj fascinacije i motiviralo umjetnike da kroz svoja djela iskazuju njegova estetska, funkcionalna, rodna, ali i duhovna i sakralna obilježja. Upravo je naga ljudska figura oduvijek privlačila i zadržavala interes promatrača, a opet je do danas ostala svojevrstan tabu. Središnji motiv rada Linijski istanjena masa i prostorna kompozicija je stilizirana ljudska figura umnožena u rasponu manjih dimenzija. Za mene ona predstavlja više od same figurativne asocijacije; kroz ove skulpture nastojala sam prikazati svoja promišljanja, iskustva i emocije te sažeti kiparsko iskustvo s diplomskog studija. Ova grupa svojim mobilnim postavom simulira slojevite i kompleksne društvene interakcije i otvara brojne mogućnosti interpretacije. Iskustvo rada na ovom ciklusu promijenilo je puno toga u mojoj percepciji stvaralaštva; kako vlastitog, tako i onog brojnih autora koje sam tijekom tog procesa prepoznavala i proučavala. Kroz vježbanje vlastitog fokusa, upornosti i izdržljivosti, te kroz realizaciju svake pojedinačne skulpture, proširila sam područje svojih mogućnosti i interesa.The depiction of the human figure has been an ever-present motive in the visual art since prehistoric time. Consciousness of self, of one’s own physicality, of movement and interaction with others has been manifesting in countless sculptures since the paleolithic Venus as incorporations of fertility, through the idealized Hellenistic sculptures to the contemporary hyperrealistic hybrid visions. The human body has always inspired a feeling of fascination and has motivated artists to express its esthetic, functional, sexual, but also spiritual and sacral characteristics in their work. It was precisely the nude human figure that has always attracted and retained the interest of the observer but has yet remained a kind of taboo. The central motive of the work Linearly thinned mass and spatial composition is the stylized human figure multiplied in a range of small dimensions. For me it represents more than the figurative association itself; through these sculptures I try to demonstrate my own reflections and emotions and condense my graduate course sculpting experience. Through its mobile display this group simulates layered and complex social interactions and opens many possibilities of interpretation. The work experience on this cycle has changed a lot in my perception of creativity; not just of my own but also of the many authors I had recognized and examined during that process. Through training my focus, persistence and endurance, and through the realization of each individual sculpture, I have expanded the area of my possibilities and interests
