MAJA PUČKO – MAJAILLUSTRATION: KALOPSIA
KALOPSIA
O avtorici
Maja Pučko je rojena 25. 3. 1996, prihaja pa iz okolice Ljutomera. Po zaključeni Srednji poklicni in tehniški šoli v Murski Soboti (smer računalniški tehnik) je svojo izobraževalno pot nadaljevala v Mariboru na Fakulteti za elektrotehniko, računalništvo in informatiko, smer medijske komunikacije, kjer trenutno zaključuje magistrski program.
Čeprav je njeno izobraževanje v veliki meri usmerjeno v računalništvo, informacijsko družbo in nove medije, ustvarja že od malih nog in je nadaljevanje umetniške poti njen poglavitni cilj. Kot otroka jo je veliko navdihovala babica, ki je slikala v olju za sorodnike in družinske prijatelje. Sama je ubrala nekoliko drugačen pristop, in sicer risanje preko grafične tablice, ki ji omogoča največjo kreativno svobodo izmed vseh ostalih medijev in tehnik. Skozi umetnost preslikava svoj notranji svet v zunanjega, njena dela pa so vsota spominov, čustev, navdihov in simbolov ter kot taka pripovedujejo zgodbo, ki se nadaljuje.
Na WebNox-u se tokrat predstavlja s serijo digitalnih del Kalopsia, kar pomeni videti stvari bolj čudovite, kot dejansko so. Najizrazitejši vir navdiha za Majo predstavlja idilična narava, ki ji s precizno izbrano barvno shemo in izbrano atmosfero doda mistično in sanjavo podobo, ki zgolj zaokroži simboliko in motiviko, ki jo obdaja. Spekter motivike je širok, v svojih delih največkrat upodablja zodiak in grško mitologijo, prav tako pa na svoj način upodablja tudi pop kulturo.

About the autor
Maja Pučko, born on March 25th, 1996, comes from Ljutomer. After graduating from the Secondary Technical School in Murska Sobota (program computer technician), she continued her education in Maribor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, majoring in Media communications, where she is currently finishing her master’s degree.
Although her education is largely focused on computer science and new media, she has been creating art since she was a child and wants to continue art career. As a child, she was greatly inspired by her grandmother, who painted in oil for relatives and family friends. She took a slightly different approach, she is drawing and creating on a graphic tablet, which allows her much more creative freedom than other media and techniques. In artworks she tends to transfer her inner world into the outer, so her works are the sum of memories, emotions, inspirations, and symbols, and as such they tell a story that continues in future.
This time she exhibits series of digital art pieces named Kalopsia, which means seeing things more beautiful than they are. The most expressive source of her inspiration is idyllic nature, which she adds a mystical and dreamy image with a precisely chosen colour scheme and atmosphere, that complete the symbolism and motifs. Her artworks depict wide range of motifs, mostly zodiac and Greek mythology, and pop culture references.
You can follow her creation on Instagram @majaillustration or by clicking on https://www.instagram.com/majaillustration/, but if you would like to beautify the walls with her works, you can also buy prints on her website www.majaillustration.com part and support the young artist with the purchase.
CONVERSATION WITH MAJA PUČKO
Because of the current lockdown, Maja and I had a virtual conversation. Maja told me a bit more about her art, why she prefers to create digitally, what is her biggest inspiration and much more. If you are interested in what the young artist Maja has to say, watch the video of the conversation.
On behalf of the Media Nox Gallery team, I sincerely thank Maja for this conversation, and we wish her great success in her further art career.
