Idrija-born Ana Balantič is a poet, writer, and a unique painter. In her words: “My profession required much innovation – I am continuing this uniqueness in lacemaking, too, and I wish my paintings to move away from the classic Idrija lace. Because I love colours and am not adept at handling a brush, I got the idea to make my paintings from lace and capture the part of nature that is most mine in a distinctive way. At first, the common thread was the woman, now a lamp, a butterfly, then a nude. Everything that I feel with the poems that I write is also reflected in the intertwining of the threads in a harmony of colours that is telling a story. It has now been twelve years since I am holding the bobbins again, this time spun with colourful threads.”
