The Design

About Splash Ilustracija

Ilustracije so osebni projekt Marije Bradovkove. Njen cilj je bil vaditi svojo ustvarjalnost in abstraktno mišljenje. Narisane so v tradicionalni tehniki - barvno črnilo na papirju. Naključno brizganje črnila je bilo izhodišče in navdih za vsako ilustracijo. Opazovala je nepravilno obliko akvarela, dokler ni v njej videla namiga figure. Podrobnosti je dodala z linearnim risanjem. Abstraktna oblika brizga je bila spremenjena v figurativno podobo. Vsaka risba prikazuje drugačen človeški ali animalistični značaj v sentimentalnem razpoloženju.
