Petra Preželj Biography

Slovenia, born 1975

My artworks can be described as emotionally strong and visually rich, with a deep emphasis on the inner state, people and everyday scenes, often in the context of social and cultural dimensions. My works include different techniques, but stand out through the recognition of strong colors, expressive drawing and a specific approach to portraits. My paintings often contain elements of abstraction, but at the same time they can also be recognized as figurative works, in which faces, figures and details receive special attention.

I am combining emotions with everyday life, creating an intense and sometimes melancholic atmosphere.

The presence of textures and striking lines is also my characteristic, which contributes to the dynamism and expressiveness of my works. Through my paintings, I often explores deeply personal, intimate topics, but at the same time I do not avoid socially engaged motives.

I made gentle illustrations for children and also dark paintings for adults.

My special love is scratchboard. Really enjoy when I am making it.
