Jungle Ubik 2 Painting

My name is Hana Letica. I am an artist based in Split, Croatia. I studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti of Florence in Italy where I graduated in painting (2001) in the class of Professor Gustavo Giulietti. Today I work as a professor in School of Fine Arts Split where I teach drawing and painting. I am also the head of the school's professional gallery program called Galerija Škola. In Florence I became more and more engrossed in abstraction and began to explore the basic principles of art such as harmony, movement, rhythm, balance and symmetry. "A new way of seeing and feeling nature and the figurative world around me opened up before me and what was abstract became very substantial and concrete. The visual world decomposed itself to its basic forms of construction such as lines, colors, surfaces, textures. I am free transforming the data from the world around us, my knowledge and experience into spontaneous compositions of symbols and gestures. I create emotional landscapes, echoes and rhythms of the jungle, natural or concrete one. I create playgrounds for thoughts, giving gentle but coded instructions, I don't impose solutions and ready-made ideas, I only give small hints so that the viewer may find what he or she is looking for. My art is all about intangible." Hana Letica ATELIER Gundulićeva 21, 21000 Split, CROATIA
