Interview with a spacescape artist: Janez Jevnikar: Sprayman

Interview by Caroline Miniscule

I belong to a space and fantasy art mailing list, and someone shared a link to a video on Google Video - which turned out to feature Serbian Janez Jevnikar creating one of his masterpieces. It was a lot of fun to watch, and I asked him for an interview, to which he agreed.

1. Aerosolgrafijo delas ze od leta 1995. Kaj si ustvarjal pred tem?

Nič, razen ilegalnih grafitov po stenah.

2.Kako si zacel s Aerosolgrafijo? Kdo te je navdusil?

Pred 15 leti sem se prvic srecal s to tehniko v Nurembergu - Nemcija. Tam je mozakar delal enostavne slike s nekaj planeti in zvezdami. Dolgo sem potreboval, potem pa sem se odlocil in poskusil. Od takrat se nisem nehal.

3. Kaksen je tvoj postopek? Ali studiras slike ali je vse to tvoja domislija? Kaksni so tvoji motivi?

Ko delam slike po narocilu, delam po fotografijah, drugace pa je vse moja domislija. Najvec delam klasicne pokrajinske in Si-Fi slike, obcasno pa tudi Pop art portrete, avte, zivali in ostalo.

4. Slike delaš pred publiko. Si to pocel od zacetka? Ali ti publika pomaga pri usvarjanju?

prve slike sem delal doma na balkonu. Takrat me je bilo se malo strah. Vcasih delam bolj show za publiko, vcasih se bolj posvetim sliki, najbolje pa je, ko se show ujame s sliko.

5. Imel si kar nekaj razstav. Ali so to bile kake Si - Fi konvencije?

Ne, razstavljal sem v lokalnih galerijah, lokalih in solah...

6. Si ljubitelj znanstvene fantastike? Kateri so tvoji priljubljeni filmi/avtorji?

Od filmov bi izpostavil Vojno zvezd od knjig pa Stoparski vodnik po galaksiji.

Naredil si kar nekaj video filmov s kar nekaj uspeha. Ali se ti je prodaja slik kaj poveèala zaradi tega?

Filmi so bili delani cisto za drugi namen. Poslal sem jih prijateljem in kar naenkrat so se razsirili po celem svetu. Trenutno imam 20 do 50 tisoc obiskov dnevno na vseh treh videih, skupno pa od 10. oktobra 2006 ze preko miljon in pol. Vsak dan zaradi tega dobim dav naročila več kot obicajno.

8. Kako dolgo ze deluje tvoja internet stran?

Stran imam ze pet let, vendar dokler nisem imel videa, ni nihce vedel zanjo.

9. 20 x 30 cm, 30 x 40 cm, 40 x 60 cm, 60 x 80 cm. Povej kako dolgo delaš posamezno sliko?

Velikost tukaj ne igra vloge :)

Nekatere slike delam tudi eno uro, portrete tudi do 6 ur. V povprecju pa med 3 in 15 minut.

Prices for these paintings run from $30 to $80, depending on size, and there is free shipping anywhere in the world.
