You never tire of them: such layered complexity that the same work can play for months and still raise goosebumps and spark fresh inspiration.<\/p>\n\n<p>Earlier I illustrated Tanja Pe\u010denko\u2019s book \u201cMale baletke in njihove cvetke\u201d (Little Ballerinas and Their Blossoms) \u2014 motifs that were pure joy. Through Tanja I met Ana Trojar, an acclaimed ballerina and remarkable woman. She graduated from the Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance in London and is a registered teacher with the Royal Academy of Dance. She has danced in numerous productions and devoted herself pedagogically to educating young ballerinas. In 2021 she opened her own Ana Ballet School in Kamnik, welcoming the very young, older learners and mature lovers of ballet alike. More on her website: <a href=\"https:\/\/baletnasola-ana.si\/\">https:\/\/baletnasola-ana.si\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Ana came by for coffee. The moment she entered she had a special presence \u2014 a little wow effect \u2014 something distinct. Instantly fascinating. She shared her story and vision for the school; I loved how refined her eye was for each detail. That same care shaped her idea for an end\u2011of\u2011year certificate for her students: it had to feel special, not generic. So we created it \u2014 essentially a whole narrative across the page: what the school is, what it may become, whom it welcomes. Responses were so warm. I find her notion inspiring: that a certificate needn\u2019t be a plain sheet with a name, but can become a meaningful, beautiful keepsake when thoughtfully designed.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/zoki.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IlustracijaBsA-763x1024.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"763\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/zoki.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IlustracijaBsA-763x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zoki.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IlustracijaBsA-763x1024.jpg 763w, https:\/\/zoki.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IlustracijaBsA-655x880.jpg 655w, https:\/\/zoki.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IlustracijaBsA-223x300.jpg 223w, https:\/\/zoki.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IlustracijaBsA-768x1031.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zoki.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IlustracijaBsA-600x806.jpg 600w, https:\/\/zoki.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IlustracijaBsA.jpg 1117w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 763px) 100vw, 763px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ballet and classical music have always enthralled me \u2014 motifs I endlessly love to paint.
