How does your studio reflect your style?
I love love
love colors! They make me happy and always fill me with energy. Just to see a color or "exist" in a color can influence my feelings. The
studio where I work is really colorful: warm green walls, dark furniture, a red rug. The place is colorful but uncluttered. I find colors to be more inspiring than distracting. I find it easier to focus when everything is balanced around me, a neat, tidy and nice atmosphere which is never boring.
What pieces in your studio inspire you?
I have objects on my table I love very very much. These are also the things that inspire me. Not because of their color or shape, but because I love them. They aren't particularly beautiful, they are just nice to me for some reason or other. I also love ambiance lights, candles and small lamps. They calm me down, and they make any space nicer.
What is the favorite part of your studio?
I love every place where the sun shines, but I spend most of my time at my table, working on my illustrations.
Do you have any handmade or vintage decor pieces?
Yes, there are also handmade and vintage pieces in the room. Drawings and prints on the wall, paintings on the floor by the wall and old books. Not really as decoration but as inspirational reading matter.
What is favorite color palette and how did you implement this in your space?
Lately, the color I’ve been using frequently is blue. My favorite color - the color I love to use in my works, that is - changes from time to time.
That's one of the reasons I like a colorful working environment.
In my work, I love to mix intensive, strong colors with the tones of the same color or with a color which is near this color on the color wheel , like mixing blue with green or yellow or mixing red with purple or yellow. Clear blue or turquoise, yellow, and maybe red - these are the colors which have been inspiring me recently.
Intensive colors I like appear in my studio as well, the colors of the the walls, the furniture, the accessories and lights create a strong contrast.
What is the one tool used in your creation process you treasure the most?
I like to draw in the traditional way, putting down my ideas on paper. I like traditional tools and materials like paper, pencil, ink or paint. I enjoy choosing between different kinds of paper with different thickness and texture, I enjoy comparing the various tones of white paper. I just love clean paper, love to imagine what will be created on the paper, and to draw the first line. Also, blank paper or a blank canvas inspires me. There is always the possibility in the blank, empty surface for something to be expressed that has never been expressed before.
I also use a digital table, which I like very much, but sometimes I feel that there isn't a real connection between my emotions and the character, the shape and dynamics of the lines. At the same time, there is no doubt that digital tables are exceptionally useful tools.
