The theme and the title of this thesis Trace and Gesture emerged from professor Neli Ružić's mentorship. The author chose one of the three main topics offered during classes for her work. It is a collection of abstractions without specific figurative motifs. It all began with a series of small works in a sketchbook. The idea of gesturality started to develop, with drawings used as motifs on a painting surface. Various media were employed in creating the works, mainly acrylic, wall paint and drawing techniques such as markers, crayons, rapidograph and ink. The base surface is paper, which was mounted on a frame in the last stage of the work, sized at 120 × 196 cm . This allowed the author to move to a larger format, engaging her whole body in the process. The author experimented with various media. She finds the work process interesting and presents it as the backbone of the work itself, as she believes that this is what determines the identity of her paintings. In her paintings, she wants to show invisible or transperceptual space visible within the inner world.
