Nina Sefcik - Spain, EuropeNina Sefcik
CORUNA, SPAIN

I am an illustrator originally from Slovakia. Last two years I have been living in A Coruña, a beautiful city of Galicia (North West of Spain).
As you know, Spain was heavily affected by the COVID19 and we had to spend two months in closed quarantine in our homes. My daughter is 3 years old and due to the restrictions, I spend most of the time with her doing arts and crafts. Just by observing her drawing and playing with colours, she taught me so much on how to enjoy breaking all the possible rules when it comes to the creative process, use of colours, shapes etc. The art piece I am submitting is simply a result of deep frustration, inability to act freely, feeling trapped and looking into the mirror and seeing a face that we all share - a face with a mask on. This mix of frustrating feelings found their freedom in expressing myself using no rules or measures to colours and materials just the way ma daughter had taught me. It was how this piece came alive.
