At the art workshop in the National Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which took place as part of the Dobrivoja Beljkašić exhibition, I was supposed to express my current emotional state with the help of a linear drawing. Before the creative activity, we looked at two paintings made with the ink-on-paper technique: "Sarajevo" and "Rooster". I liked how the artist achieved the effect of spilled ink with the help of more water. I tried to show the same effect with tempera on paper. My artwork depicts my current state of love: in the middle is a stylized rose that I would give to my sweetheart. Around the rose are spots of spilled paint in black and blue as a lament for unfulfilled youthful love.
