"Lina" is a portrait that tells the story of ease of existence, joy and inner peace.
With gentle features and bright blue eyes, her expression exudes serenity and quiet strength. With a gaze that follows the observer, she reveals the subtle nuances of emotion that flow through her gentle smile.
From her right eye emerges the Fibonacci spiral, a symbol of sacred geometry, which subtly leads the eye through the work in a clockwise direction, towards the lower left corner.
This spiral is not only an aesthetic element, it is a metaphor for natural order and balance, inviting us to tune into the rhythms of nature.

Lina is depicted with her hair gently blowing in the wind, and each strand is accented with brush strokes and feathers, creating a sense of movement and freedom.
On her right shoulder sits a small bird with large black eyes, which observes the world around it with calmness and presence. This little bird, as a symbol of freedom and connection with nature, brings a feeling of lightness and carelessness to the whole work.

The painting was created through seven different layers, using seven different materials: ink, tea, red wine, gold leaf, rainwater, graphite pencil, colored pencil and markers.
Each layer reveals a new dimension of the same woman, symbolizing the layering of identity and emotions that we carry within us.
Lina's simplicity and airiness, with subtle layers of complexity, reflect the balance between the inner world and the outer appearance.

This portrait was created as one of the drawings for Maja Prović's book "Live Consciously and Not Stressfully" and was published as an illustration in it in 2023.
Lina reminds us that the beauty of life is in its simplicity, and in her eyes and smile she carries a message of joy, peace and connection with nature and sacred geometry.

"Lina" je portret koji u sebi nosi priču o lakoći postojanja, radosti i unutarnjem miru.
S nježnim crtama lica i vedrim plavim očima, njen izraz odiše spokojem i tihom snagom. Pogledom koji prati promatrača, otkriva suptilne nijanse emocija koje se prelijevaju kroz njezin blagi osmijeh.
Iz njezinog desnog oka izvire Fibonaccijeva spirala, simbol svete geometrije, koja suptilno vodi pogled kroz djelo u smjeru kazaljke na satu, prema doljnjem lijevom kutu. Ova spirala nije samo estetski element, ona je metafora za prirodni poredak i ravnotežu, pozivajući nas da se uskladimo s ritmovima prirode.

Lina je prikazana s kosom koja lagano vijori na vjetru, a svaki pramen naglašen je crtama tuša i pera, stvarajući osjećaj kretanja i slobode.
Na njezinom desnom ramenu smjestila se malena ptičica, krupnih crnih očiju, koja sa smirenošću i prisutnošću promatra svijet oko sebe. Ova mala ptica, kao simbol slobode i povezanosti s prirodom, unosi osjećaj lakoće i bezbrižnosti u cijelo djelo.

Slika je izrađena kroz sedam različitih slojeva, koristeći sedam različitih materijala: tuš, čaj, crno vino, zlatne listiće, kišnicu, grafitnu olovku, olovku u boji i markere.
Svaki sloj otkriva novu dimenziju iste žene, simbolizirajući slojevitost identiteta i emocija koje nosimo u sebi.
Linina jednostavnost i prozračnost, uz suptilne slojeve kompleksnosti, odražavaju balans između unutarnjeg svijeta i vanjske pojavnosti.

Ovaj portret nastao je kao jedan od crteža za knjigu Maje Prović "Živi svjesno a ne stresno" te je objavljen kao ilustracija u njoj 2023. godine.
Lina nas podsjeća da je ljepota života u njegovoj jednostavnosti, a u očima i osmijehu nosi poruku o radosti, miru i povezanosti s prirodom i svetom geometrijom.
