Andjelija Kedzic is an illustrator who creates art with clean compositions, bright colors, and symbolic objects that create a sense of calmness and transcendence.
From an early age, Andjelija was involved with various art mediums. She attended a national ballet school, spent time drawing and painting, and says she even “liked to amateurishly compose on guitar and piano.” She became interested in digital art at the age of 19. Her first pieces were created on a mobile phone, and soon after she taught herself how to navigate photoshop.
“I believe that my interest in digital art comes from my general interest in different kinds of art, she explains. “The possibilities that digital programs could offer amazed me and instantly drew me to this art medium,” she says. “It allows the creator to successfully express one’s own ideas and incorporate various dimensions of aesthetics.”
Many of Andjelija’s works include a pink/blue/purple pallet—colors that are strong yet subtle. “The inspiration behind that creative direction is really laying in my need to express my emotions and current state of mind. I tend to evoke and transmit the same to the viewers. It’s really my way of communicating with the audience and allowing them to enter my world.” She adds: “Art is a means of catharsis for me. The need to create and dive deep into my emotions and hopefully transmit the same vibes on my audience is an ongoing love affair.”
Andjelija’s creative process unfolds naturally, and she allows the freedom of art to allow her work to evolve. Being that art is a part of her and is the tool in which she communicates with herself, Andjelija stays busy with creative projects. “The one closest to my heart is creating artworks for Swedish authors for Vintergård Förlag (Vintergård Publishing) and trying to shape and express a visual image of their stories,” she says.
