2DARTIST MAGAZINE | Folklore inspired illustrations
I tend to work through the admin and
the small things in the morning, and then
concentrate on the bigger projects in the
afternoon. I try to find some time every day
for sketching and experimentation, which is
an important part of the artist’s growth.
2da: How do you like to spend your time
when you aren’t creating beautiful art?
NI: I like to dedicate as much free time as I can
to the outdoors, going out for long walks in the
wilderness, learning about plants, foraging and
observing animals. That said I don’t turn my nose
up at cities, especially those that have extensive
histories. I can often be found wandering
urban ravines; trying to decode their past and
admiring their architecture. When indoors, I like
to spend most of my free time engaging with
something that has a good writing behind it,
this could be books, videogames, or films.
2da: And finally, what can we look
forward to from you next?
NI: This is the first time I’m talking about it
publicly: I’ve recently started working on a
personal project, an illustrated book that will
feature a gallery of witches’ portraits through
the ages and across countries. It aims to be a
collection of their stories, enriched with their
personal quotes, and working within the genres of
historical fiction with a touch of magical realism.
It’ll give me a chance to combine my interest in
history with my passion for art, combining stories
of forgotten outcasts with my own knowledge of
folklore, history of witchcraft and fashion design.
Thank you Nataša for taking the
time to speak to 2dartist today!
