𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧 je slovenska vizualna umetnica, ki deluje na področju sodobne grafike. Diplomirala je iz umetniške grafike na Akademiji likovnih umetnosti v Sarajevu, se izpopolnjevala na Akademiji likovnih umetnosti Jana Matejka v Krakovu, trenutno pa zaključuje magisterij knjižne grafike na ALU v Sarajevu. Od leta 2020 svoje delo predstavlja na samostojnih in skupinskih razstavah doma in v tujini.

V svojem ustvarjanju raziskuje razmerja med podobo, prostorom in pomenom. Osebno izkušnjo premišljeno prepleta s širšim družbenim kontekstom ter na tih, a vztrajen način odpira prostor za razmislek o sodobnem človeku in njegovem odnosu do sveta. Njene podobe niso zgolj vizualni znaki, temveč nosilke izkustva. Njeno ustvarjanje se umešča v polje sodobne vizualne umetnosti, kjer raziskovanje ni le metoda, temveč tudi način bivanja.

Razstava Miselne lupine v Galeriji Kresija predstavlja njene najnovejše grafike iz serije Psihološki portreti orehov, izvedene v kombiniranih tehnikah globokega tiska. Z nenehnim eksperimentiranjem umetnica podobo potiska skoraj do meje taktilnosti. Vendar naj to ne zavede: njeni »orehi« niso to, kar se zdijo na prvi pogled. Vabijo k razmisleku o človeškem stanju duha, notranjih strukturah in mentalni ranljivosti.

Fear is part of us: Thursday, 12 March 2026, 5 pm

𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧 is a Slovenian visual artist working in contemporary printmaking. She earned a BA in printmaking from the Academy of Fine Arts Sarajevo, with additional training at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, Poland, and is currently completing an MA in book design in Sarajevo. Since 2020, she has showcased her work in solo and group exhibitions both locally and internationally.

In her artistic practice, Strban explores the relationships between image, space, and meaning, thoughtfully intertwining personal experience with the broader social context and quietly but persistently opening up space for reflection on the contemporary human and their relationship to the world. Transcending mere visual signs, her images convey experience. Her work falls within the field of contemporary visual art, where exploration is not only a method but also a way of being.

The exhibition Mental Shells in the Kresija Gallery shows her latest prints from the series Psychological Portraits of Walnuts, created using mixed intaglio printmaking techniques. Through constant experimentation, the artist pushes the image almost to the limits of tactility. This, however, should not deceive you, for her “walnuts” are not what they seem at first glance. Transcending this, they invite reflection on the human state of mind, internal structures, and mental vulnerability.
