Short story illustration

Inspired by a short story ( published in Oblakoder magazine) of family remembrance and childhood memories, this illustration reflects on nostalgia and connection. The centerpiece, neven (calendula), symbolizes warmth and comfort from the past, grounding the story in a blend of personal history and folklore. This piece challenged me to step out of my usual style, and I found a new direction in my work that I’m excited to explore further. If you resonate with this vibe and would like to collaborate, feel free to reach out!

The short story in question is by Nevena Ivanović and it’s called “Baba je htjela da se zovem

Cvijeta”. 🌼🌼🌼
