Hana Špičko: Tiha Pričevanja

Hana Špičko (2009) je dijakinja II. Gimnazije v Mariboru. Njeno trenutno ustvarjanje vključuje pretežno portrete in delujejo realistično. Vsak portret vključuje tudi druge elemente, kot sta čipka in deli besedila, kar pa je pomembna komponenta celotnega dela, pa je njen »umetniški podpis« barve.

Portreti umetnice nastajajo po popolnoma spontanem navdihu. Upodobljenci niso nujno osebe katere pozna, lahko je to tujec na cesti, ki je iz nekega razloga pritegnil umetničino pozornost in si s tem prislikal popolnoma novo zgodbo na platnu. Detajli in pozornosti so tiste, ki pri iskanju navdiha za določen portret igrajo pomembno vlogo, tako vsak portretiranec ponovno postane nepopisan list papirja in z umetničinim pridihom postane ključni igralec v novi paralelno-univerzalni zgodbi.

Dela Hane Špičko so lahko globoko izpovedna a hkrati družbeno kritična, dogajanja v svetu so tako preslikana na platno, osebe na slikah pa postanejo nosilci sporočil. Kot omenjeno so osebe lahko umetnici misterij, nezavedno ji izstopajo iz množice, njihov vsakdan pa postane pravzaprav novo življenje, ki se riše na sliki.

Pri umetničinem ustvarjanju gre tudi za vkomponiranje elementov, kot so strani iz knjig, iztrgani v ravno določenem trenutku in predstavljajo nedokončano zgodbo, oziroma zgodbo, ki se še piše in je umeščena ravno v trenutek, ko je vanj zajeta tudi ta mistična oseba. Besede dosežejo svoj namen, ko so razumljene kot morda neizrečene, ali pa celo utišane. Poleg besedil pa so vključene tudi čipke, ki predstavljajo tančico nedolžnega, milega in čistega. Gre za pajčolan, ki s svojo nežnostjo skuša nekaj skriti. K vsemu pa sovpade tudi barva, katero umetnica kroji svojim potrebam, v paleto vključuje zgolj primarne barve, ki jih potem svetli in meša sama in s tem dodaja nekakšen podpis. Vsi elementi, ki so vkomponirani v sliko, gradijo harmonijo, ki se na videz zdi preprosta in lahkotna, ampak vedno subtilno nosi svojevrstven pomen, ki sam po sebi nosi težo razumevanja.

Pomen, ki se skriva je prepuščen gledalcu da ga razvozla. Metafore za celostno umetnino predstavljajo izziv za gledalca da si o njem ustvari svoje mnenje, ter da se skozi delo zave svoje okolice.

Hana Špičko ustvarja svetove, ki se na prvi prelet zdijo mistični, celo fantazijski. Fantazija pa je tista, ki ima vlogo zavedanja sveta okoli nas, svarila in vprašaje, ki nas kot opazovalce bodrijo. Umetnica pomembna sporočila in misli poveže v harmonično celoto, katera zagotovo doseže svoj namen zavedanja. Celoto lahko povežemo v umetničino misel, ki pravi, da njena dela niso odgovori, ampak so vprašanja.

Hana Špičko: Silent Testimonies

Hana Špičko (2009) is a student at II. Gimnazija in Maribor. Her current work consists mainly of portraits, which appear realistic. Each portrait also includes other elements, such as lace and pieces of text, but the most important component of the entire work is her "artistic signature" of color. 

The subjects are not necessarily people she knows; they can be strangers on the street who, for some reason, caught the artist's attention and thus painted a completely new story on canvas. Details and attention are what plays an important role in finding inspiration for a particular portrait, so each subject becomes a blank sheet of paper again. Details and observations play an important role in the search for inspiration for a particular portrait, so each subject becomes a blank sheet of paper again and, with the artist's touch, becomes a key player in a new parallel-universal story.

Hana Špičko's works can be deeply confessional and socially critical at the same time, with world events being transferred onto canvas and the people in the paintings becoming the bearers of messages. As mentioned, the people can be a mystery to the artist, unconsciously standing out from the crowd, their everyday lives becoming a new life that is depicted in the painting. 

The artist's work also involves incorporating elements such as pages from books, torn out at a specific moment in time, representing an unfinished story, or a story that is still being written and is set at the very moment when this mystical person is captured in it. Words achieve their purpose

when they are understood as perhaps unspoken or even silenced. In addition to the texts, lace is also included, representing a veil of innocence, gentleness, and purity. It is a spider's web that tries to hide something with its delicacy. All of this is complemented by the color, which the artist tailors to her needs, including only primary colors in her palette, which she then brightens and mixes herself, adding a kind of signature. All the elements incorporated into the painting create a harmony that appears simple and light, but always subtly carries its own meaning, which in itself carries the weight of understanding. 

The hidden meaning is left to the viewer to unravel. Metaphors for a work of art as a whole, challenge the viewer to form their own opinion about it and to become aware of their surroundings through the work. 

Hana Špičko creates worlds that at first glance seem mystical, even fantastical. Fantasy, however, plays a role in our awareness of the world around us, providing warnings and questions that encourage us as observers. The artist combines important messages and thoughts into a harmonious whole, which certainly achieves its purpose of raising awareness. We can connect the whole to the artist's thought that her works are not answers, but questions.
