Today she is considered to be one of the most important and influential modernist writers and feminists of the 20th century. I am moved by her interesting but deeply troubled and tragic life. In this work I combine drawing and painting into a digital collage. I think about my technique as part of a contemporary printmaking. I start my work with a pen and paper, pastels, colour pencils and paint. Sometimes I make several drawings, which then I move into a digital space, where I construct my image further. I enjoy the freedom of digital painting, cutting, pasting and transforming the image layer by layer. I often reuse some of the abstract elements. I find a different context or meaning for them. Rather than aiming at photographic accuracy, I try to find my own poetic interpretation of the subject. Show more
