some last paintings:

                              

"I view my work as a continuation of the concerns of expressionism.

Colour is the main concern in my paintings, exploring the emotional

and expressive qualities. My colours are used freely and vibrantly.

The paintings vibrate with the contrasts of warm and cold, light and

dark, bright and dull.
I am an avid traveller, and I capture the essence of the places I visit

in vibrant abstracted pictures. Gardens with lush vegetation and

ornaments, busy landscapes with swirling clouds, a coloured square

of Burano island; Through my use of colour and shape I

captivate the viewer with my joyful celebration of life

through my art."

 

Ravello gardens, acryl on canvas, 90 x 120 cm, 36” x 48”, 2007

 

Capri garden with vases and palm trees, acryl on canvas, 95 x 145 cm, 60" x 50", 2007

 

 

Tjaša: "I hold my first workshop in 1996. The Gallery - Cultural Foundation Fondazione Villa Benzi Zecchin from near Venice, Italy organized my first personal exhibition. With the intention to promote my first show they also organized painting workshops that were conducted by me. I liked the experience very much. And the summer after that I organized my first workshop in Tuscany. Since than I made quite a way. I hold today up to 15 workshops per year at different locations as in Italy, France and Slovenia. In 12 years of career I had participants from all 6 continents and from about 24 countries...

 

Most of my participants are from United States, Canada and European countries. But I had participants also from Australia, New Zeland, South Africa, Belize, Argentina, Anguilla, Israel, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Lebanon as from Great Britain, The Netherlands, Italy, Ireland, Switzerland, Romania, Germany, Macedonia, Norway, France...

 

....and many who returned second, third and even for the fifth time."

 

 

"Let me take you on a journey of DISCOVERY and ENLIGHTENMENT,
through the History, Art & Culture of the World ~ don't just pass through
but stop, feel, smell and touch the culture of the peoples and places you visit"
