vesna pesic

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."

Name (Real or Screename): Vesna Pesic-BECHA
URL (Blog, Website): http://www.bechabesna.deviantart.com/, http://www.behance.net/becha
Location (Where are you from?): Nis, Serbia

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.


Q: Explain your favourite techniques.
A: I love to combine all kinds of paper, colours, drawing with pencils, crayons, rapidographs, then photography from catalogues, magazines, anything that inspires. I enjoy to write my own letters and make handwriting... Animal anatomy and human parts... grids with triangles... patterns and expressive strokes...

Q: Describe your favourite piece ever created.
A: Oh my... there are so many. Well, certainly "To fly or not to fly", "eye bird", "Vizuelna diplomatika" my final work,"Boys", "Do you speak english"...

Q: What other artists do you admire?
A: Schiele, Basquiat, and today's - Misprinted Type, {ths}, Viva Ultra...

Thanks Vesna!
