Rina Gomboc: Strahovi domišljije

Rina Gomboc je dijakinja Gimnazije Franca Miklošiča Ljutomer. V umetnost je, kot pravi sama, vpletena že vso življenje, saj ustvarja že vse od svojih zgodnjih let. Poglobljeno in intenzivneje se je z njo začela ukvarjati v zadnjih letih osnove šole. Na njeno kreativnost je pozitivno vplivala tudi epidemija koronavirusa, saj je imela čas za ustvarjanje in iskanje svojega prepoznavnega sloga, ki ga sicer še ni dokončno razvila, so pa njena dela večinoma dela mešane tehnike. Rina vselej načrtuje vsako delo, ustvarjanje pa zanjo ne predstavlja le likovnega izraza, temveč tudi terapijo.

Ukvarja se z različnimi mediji, kot so fotografija, digitalna umetnost, kolaž in tudi tradicionalna umetnost. Rina je velikokrat sodelovala tudi na raznoraznih likovnih in literarnih natečajih.

Njena dela temeljijo na različnih mentalnih težavah, umetnica se v ustvarjanju poglablja v duševne, čustvene in psihične motnje in njihove posledice. Še poseben poudarek daje depresiji in anksioznosti, saj meni, da je njun izvor in vpliv zanimivo preučevati, prav tako pa pri tem lahko izhaja tudi iz sebe in s tem v svojih delih razkriva svoje mišljenje in občutenja brez uporabe besed.

O razstavi

Rina se tokrat predstavlja z razstavo, ki jo je naslovila Strahovi domišljije, saj so po umetničinem  mnenju strahovi mnogokrat le plod naše domišljije. Sama meni, da tako pridemo do fascinantne ugotovitve, da se ljudje lahko bojimo nečesa, kar ni stvarno. Umetnica postavi teorijo, da lahko naši strahovi izvirajo tudi iz pravljic in filmov, ki smo jih gledali v otroštvu, a za te ne vi nikoli rekli, da so strašljive. »A vendar, kaj oživi v naši sobi in kaj začne prodirati v naše misli, ko se ugasnejo vse luči? To lahko vemo le mi.«

Serija razstavljenih umetnin nam predstavlja deset del različnih tehnik, ki pa nagovarjajo enako temo – negativne občutke in miselne procese znotraj naših čustvenih občutij kot sta anksioza in depresija. Umetnica tako na različnih nivojih razišče občutke, s katerimi se vsi spopadamo.

Rina Gomboc: Fears of the Imagination

Rina Gomboc is a student of the Franc Miklošič Ljutomer High School. She has been involved in art all her life, as she says, since she was very young. She started to deal with it more deeply and intensively in the last years of primary school. The coronavirus epidemic has also had a positive impact on her creativity, giving her time to create and to find her own distinctive style, which, although not yet finalised, her works are mostly mixed media. Rina always plans each piece and for her, creating is not only an artistic expression, but also a therapy.

She works with different media such as photography, digital art, collage and traditional art. Rina has also participated in various art and literary competitions.

Her work is based on various mental problems and her work delves into mental, emotional and psychological disorders and their consequences. She places particular emphasis on depression and anxiety, as she finds their origins and impact interesting to study, and she is also able to draw on herself to reveal her thoughts and feelings in her work without the use of words.

About the exhbition

This time Rina is presenting an exhibition entitled Fears of the Imagination, because, according to the artist, fears are often just figments of our imagination. She believes that this leads to the fascinating conclusion that people can be afraid of something that is not real. The artist puts forward the theory that our fears can also come from fairy tales and films that we watched as children, but that you would never call scary. "Yet, what comes alive in our rooms and what starts to penetrate our minds when all the lights go out? Only we can know."

The series of artworks on display presents us with ten works of different techniques, but addressing the same theme - negative feelings and thought processes within our emotional feelings such as anxiety and depression. The artist thus explores, on different levels, the feelings that we all struggle with.
