This young Novi Sad artist, Jelena Sredanovi\u0107, shows that dedication, talent and constant improvement knows no bounds.<\/strong>
\n<\/p>\n

This goes for many great artists, you can always tell with certainty which event will be of the utmost importance for their careers. For Michelangelo, it was sculpting the famous statue of David, for Picasso, it was exhibiting his painting in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 1906. Jelena Sredanovi\u0107, a young Novi Sad artist, had her big moment by the end of the last year, when her graphic \u2018Drops and Shadows\u2019 became part of the famous Viennese museum\u2019s permanent collection<\/a>, right next to Michelangelo and Picasso as well as other great artists, such as Klimt, Raffaello, Rubens\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2018Drops and Shadows\u2019 were done using the woodcut technique and are part of the author\u2019s cycle called \u2018Imprint of Nature\u2019.<\/p>\n

You received both bachelor and master degrees from the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad. After you obtained your master\u2019s degree in Graphics, you applied for PhD studies at the University of Arts in Belgrade. Why did you choose this particular technique? Did studying help you perfect the technique or did it offer some other kind of improvement?
\n<\/strong>– At the Academy of Arts, you gain the knowledge needed to do fine arts. The diploma you get doesn\u2019t automatically mean you\u2019re an artist, you have to keep improving and work continuously. From the beginning of my study life, I tried to improve, so in addition to the aforementioned Academy of Arts in Novi Sad and the University of Arts in Belgrade, I attended the Summer Academy of Arts in Salzburg in 2002 and participated in residency programmes and numerous art workshops in the country and abroad (Bilbao 2010, Granada 2018, Rome 2018). I opted for Graphics because I had affinities for drawing, and during my studies I discovered how rich and diverse the discipline is, offering a varied range of radically different means of expression, each requiring a certain approach.<\/span><\/p>\n
