Oduvijek sam bila kreativna. Zanimalo me sve i svašta. Moji roditelji su usadili u mene ključne vrijednosti od malih nogu, a to su bili umjetnost i glazba.
Ta kreativnost je imala najviši pik u osnovnoj školi. Drugačije je bilo okruženje. Nastavnici su cijenili kreativnost, inovativnost i trud. Bila sam okružena s prijateljicama s kojima sam se "natjecala" koja će biti kreativnija.
U srednjoj se to nije cijenilo. Nikome se nije dalo baviti s tim dijelom mene (ili nas). Važne su bile ocjene. Riješen ispit 100%. I takve stvari.
Na fakultetu je to tek bilo svedeno na mrvicu kruha. Izgubiš se u znanosti, računanju, analizi, labosu, a ono što je najvažnije za razvijanje znanosti, nigdje na vidiku.
Napokon sam se pomoću keramike krenila vraćati sebi. Počela sam stvarati umjetnost u šalici. Kakva je to umjetnost? Umjetnost koja dolazi iznutra. Instiktivna. Lijepa. Dovoljna. Samouvjerena. Prihvaćena. Savršena.

I have always been creative. I was interested in everything and anything. My parents instilled in me key values from a young age, which were art and music.
This creativity peaked in elementary school. The environment was different. Teachers appreciated creativity, innovation, and effort. I was surrounded by friends with whom I "competed" to see who could be more creative.
In high school, this was not valued. No one cared about that part of me (or us). Grades were important. A 100% on the exam. Things like that.
In college, it was reduced to the bare minimum. You get lost in science, calculations, analysis, labs, and the most important thing for developing science is nowhere to be found.
Finally, with the help of ceramics, I started returning to myself. I began creating art in a cup. What kind of art is that? Art that comes from within. Instinctive. Beautiful. Enough. Confident. Accepted. Perfect.
If you also want art in a cup, order your cup via the webshop ☕️
