Vesna's collages really stood out to me--I love the way she uses realistic elements like drawings and writing and how she uses (hand) typography to set off her collages. It's a very strong element and makes her collages "her own."

Q: Describe your work in 10 words or less.
A: Absurd, patchy, provocative, morbid sometimes, retro but new.

Q: What do you like to work with (magazines, photographs, vintage)? Be specific!
A: Magazine sounds great but what so ever, anyone who understands my way of expressing emotions is very welcome for cooperation. I love to combine illustrations and photography.

Q: How long have you been creating collages and what made you start?
A: Well, specifically collages about 4 years but my committment to art starts much earlier. I found that collage is a technique that gives freedom to frolic as much as you need. If you have inspiration, collage gives you inexhaustible way to create.

Q: Are you solely an artist, or do you work in another profession?
A: I graduated in graphic design ahd that's my profession. Illustrations and collages are just for relaxing, exploring my creative skills, searching for new styles, inner identifications, etc.

Q: Do you have any formal art training?
A: As I've said, 5 years in Faculty of Art. And before that four years in art high school... 9 years is quite long time. And for all this years, love for cretaive expresions just grow.
