Femininity quest
Hana was born in 1980 in Split. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in 2002 majoring in sculpture under the mentorship of professor Šime Vulas. She spent a semester at the Sculpture Department of the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, under the mentorship of James Nestor, PhD.
She is a freelance artist and a member of the Croatian Association of Visual Artists and the Croatian Association of Artists Split.
As a visual artist, she focuses on sculpture, illustration and interdisciplinary forms, including shapes, materials, signs, words and/or movements. She regularly organises solo exhibitions and participates at group exhibitions, but she has also published a few picture books. She often collaborates with organisations and cultural centres in drafting and realisation of various contemporary artistic practice projects.
Tracing forest
Within the project "Utkano pod kožu" (Woven under the skin) I present a few works reflecting my search for femininity. In my search, I roam my body, forests, memories and inherited patterns which I question. The resulting artwork is made in different techniques ranging from a classical sculptural approach to material to various approaches to digitalisation of artistic thoughts and exhibiting on the Internet. My creative process and the creation of my works were accompanied by a series of posts on Facebook, which thus became a collection of notes and photographs.
