My name is Petra and I am a self-taught intuitive artist from Slovenia. I create expressive artworks to inspire and make the mundane a little bit brighter.
Being creative and making original art in my own style is an important part of my self-care routine, because this practice shows me how I really feel about myself. It helps me express feelings and emotional states that are difficult to explain with words.
My art journey began more seriously about a year ago with a drawing course that turned into a 100-faces drawing challenge and I have thoroughly documented it on my Instagram account.
Currently, I am focusing on drawing original loose yet expressive characters from memory. I also incorporate colourful patterns that make the artwork playful and engaging. My art is hand-drawn and I primarily use dry media, such as colour pencils and crayons, on scrap paper or basic drawing paper as I am trying to use up or reuse old materials to showcase how waste material can be turned into art.
Making art for me is a way of showing up for myself while at the same time trying to be mindful of the environmental issues, how I can contribute to the common good, and how to live more simply yet with greater purpose.
You can find my current work on Instagram where I share my newest drawings, upcoming projects and relevant updates.
