Shapes from nature

The woven picture of circular composition depicts the swirling in the Karst nature. Through the warmth of materials and colours, the artist represents the warmth of the earth and the sun that shines in her local environment. The circular shapes, found in nature and accompanying us everywhere, draw us in. With various added details, the artist enriches the artwork, similar to how tiny details enrich everything we see. Through the relief, she creates shadows, just like the sun shining on the landscape.
