About

Biography

Who / I am //

I am a freelance creative graphic designer, illustrator, photographer, art maker, exhibition curator as well as children's creative workshop creator and facilitator. I have wide-ranging experience and technical skills in the field of contemporary art and design practice. In my work, I place a strong emphasis on the use of crafts.

I am also one of the founders of ArtKam, a group of international individuals with various expertise sharing a common vision and goals, who, through collaboration, aim to exhibit and promote cutting-edge contemporary art in Kamnik, Slovenia. We believe arts and culture can blur boundaries, regenerate community, revive cultural spaces and create new ones.

What / I did //

Since 2007 I have been working for both print and digital end products for various industries – from book publishing (adults, children's, educational) through charities and social enterprises (arts, educational, community interest) to small businesses (arts). My clients are based both nationally and internationally.

After studying typo/graphic design, magazine and publishing design, experimental typography, illustration and printmaking (and more recently web design and 3D Maya) at the University of the Arts London (2003–05), I won a public competition to become the principal cover designer and illustrator for the major Slovene literary book publisher Beletrina Academic Press (Nov 2006). During the ten years in this role (2007–16), I created more than 300 book covers for the hardback Beletrina and softback Pocket Beletrina imprints. The hardback series was given an Award of Excellence at the 4th Biennial of Slovene Visual Communication (2009), presented by the Brumen Foundation at the National Gallery of Slovenia. Illustrations for the series and for a children’s picture book of poems on 12 colours, Barvice (Coloured Pencils), written by Feri Lainšček, were also given the Highest Funding Award for Illustration by The Slovenian Association of Fine Arts Societies (ZDSLU) (2010).

In addition, I have significant knowledge of art history and relevant work experience in the art world. After completing both a BA and an MA in Art History at University College London (1993–96), I worked in the Exhibitions Department at the Royal Academy of Arts for over ten years (1997–2008). I was involved with a number of internationally renowned exhibitions: Summer Exhibition, Joseph Beuys, Baselitz, Philip Gaston, Monet, Rodin, Matisse's Textiles, Rembrandt's Women, Aztecs, The Genius of Rome, Russian Art, Byzantium, and so on. The direct hands-on experience in the exhibition-making gave me later on not only an opportunity but also great confidence and expertise to curate and design my two solo shows – Book Covers for Beletrina (London, UK • 2010), sponsored by the Republic of Slovenia, Office for Slovenians Abroad, and Sketchbook for a Journey (Ptuj, Slovenia • 2011), sponsored by the city's library – as well as to initiate and execute a high-profile UNESCO sponsored public art project The Baptism on the Savica (Statue of Prešeren, Prešernov trg • Ljubljana, Slovenia • 2010). As one of the founders of Artkam, I was an organiser of the international show of contemporary art Expect the Unexpected (ETU 22) and curator of Victor Kastelic’s Cloudburst (Kamnik, Slovenia • 2022). ETU 22 also included a solo show of my own work, Tales of Two Cities, curated by Karmen Volavšek, who in turn expanded the show into a larger exhibition, Andreja Brulc: Odstiranja/Unveilings (Šmarje pri Jelšah, Slovenia • 2023), celebrating 20 years of my work in graphic design and illustration.

Finally, I have a vast scope of experience working with children of various ages in different situations – from 3 years of child-caring to creating and facilitating a number of children's creative workshops.

How / I do it //

The creative freedom given to me by the Slovene publisher as well as working on a broad range of international titles allowed me the opportunity to develop a distinctly personal visual style. I have a strong interest in typography, layout and colour, and in mixed media, combining illustration with photography, drawing, silhouette and traditional craft techniques (hand-printing, stitching, embroidery, patchwork, knitting, and crocheting), as well as using various papers, textiles and industrial materials (sandpaper and scrim tape) for textures and patterns. I experiment with different possibilities in which images are juxtaposed in a tense relationship to one another blended together through mixed media and thus creating different realities and perceptions through the interplay of natural forms, narrations, and emotions. The use of collage and photomontage enables me to bring together elements of the past with the latest digital technologies.

I have drawn much inspiration not only from European but also from non-European cultures, encountered through travelling and reflected in my visual diaries. My major study trips were to India (2004, 2008) and to Mexico (2002, 2012).

Why / I do it //

As a keen practitioner of using crafts in the making of my work, I strongly believe in their fundamental role in contemporary art practice. While at college in the early 2000s, I was especially encouraged by the illustration and experimental typography tutors, primarily as their reaction to the torrent of digital imagery, to concentrate on my skills gained from past experience. Their fresh approach to art education, which encouraged 'art practice as research', was based on the belief that creative inquiry is a form of research into the visual and cultural material in order to achieve a higher degree of originality.

When at school in the 1970s in the former Yugoslavia, there was a strong emphasis on learning various traditional handicrafts and technical skills as part of the national curriculum – skills that in the developed world at the time, and still now, even in Slovenia, were culturally perceived as a pastime activity for the older generation. Despite growing up in an environment of supposed social equality under communism, in which women in the public domain contributed equally to the household income, they were perceived as the main homemakers, and, in essence, unequal to their male counterparts. Due to such expectations, women had to learn certain skills for life from an early age, including craft.

It seems surprising that such expectations were deeply rooted in my culture when much of the Western world had by then already fully embraced postmodernity. It is a telling fact that as a young adult in the early 1980s, I was sent to a nunnery to pursue cross-stitching and knitting skills. Thus, the use of traditional techniques has, above all, a personal 'lost and found' element, that has not only become my 'homecoming' by reconnecting to the roots of earlier generations but also very 'welcoming' as valuable skills to possess.

Bridging past and present in my work, I have been able to explore the possibilities of different techniques and materials. By reclaiming or reinventing them in another context, I can give them a different value than just a skill my female ancestors needed to perform daily chores or engage in 'unproductive' activities associated with the private sphere. My using crafts is thus a subversive technique and allows me to dissolve traditionally distinct categories of arts, crafts, and design. On the other hand, it enables me to explore, question and even challenge certain taboos and traditional values, related to cultural, political, social and geographical situations, that are often unseen, unquestioned, or even deliberately suppressed.

Quotes & Testimonials

Quotes //

2023	The visual journey of Andreja Brulc (1968), a Slovenian-British graphic designer and illustrator, begins in black and white and symbolically ends in the many colour shades of a personal life story in two cities. Black-and-white photos unveil our view and memory of the past and childhood, some colours stand out in places – in Andreja’s case, red – and over time life takes on its own colour. Andreja’s figures and shades of the world are mostly black and white. Colours are not necessary to show emotions, personal visions and memories. The artworks are an interweaving of real and imaginary travel and the search for the washed-away self, displacement of the soul and rediscovery in the poetics of nature, art and vernacular tradition. We find many scenes and reminiscences of childhood, family traditions, literary, film and artistic works, which tell new stories in a changed concept and context. In the illustrations, many created for the covers of literary works, in addition to the narrative, the artist (sub)consciously weaves into her work the search for her life story, which is inspired by the past, present and future – travelled paths, crossroads, moving abroad, belonging and the constant transformations in new life and social challenges. – Karmen Volavšek, Curator/Author of Andreja Brulc: Odstiranja/Unveilings, Book/Exhibition Catalogue, 1 Feb
2014	More than a 1200-page long book [Izbrane Pesmi by Srečko Kosovel] was desiged by Andreja Brulc … Like most of Beletrina’s books [it has] a very attractive exterior. One loves to take them in one's hands and immerse oneself into reading and contemplation. – Jolka Millich, Revija SRP 19, no. 117/118 (2014): 142
2013	Interesting and vivid illustrations … incorporate a different kind of images as a whole, both from the point of technique (photography, cut out images, drawing) and from the point of selected motives (a visual translation of the poet's words). – Dragica Haramija & Janja Batič, Sodobnost 77, no. 10 (2013):1450, 1452
2011	I enjoyed from the start how Andreja followed and understood my verse, which she then interpreted and included in her visual way of thinking. The result was new networks of meanings and symbols, perhaps even artistic expression that goes beyond literary and visual art. – Feri Lainšček, Author of Barvice, quoted in Zdenko Kodrič, Večer (Večernica), 22 Sep, 5
	[The children's picture book, Barvice, is] … more than wonderful … – Zdenko Kodrič, Večer (Večernica), 22 Sep, 5
	[The book Antologija slovenske pesemi v prozi] … is imaginatively designed … – Andraž Gombač, Primorske novice (Kultura), 8 Sep
	Her first children’s book embraces the poetry in a sophisticated and artistic manner, and has caught the rhythm of Lainšček’s literary thoughts … – Liljana Klemenčič, Večer (Večernica), 4 Jul, 13
	[The children's book, Barvice, is] … a large picture book, illustrated and designed by Andreja Brulc, and it contains twelve poems about colors. The book is intended for older children, as the author's thematization of colors is multifaceted and unobtrusively moves into love poetry. This is followed by Andreja Brulc's artistic approach, which is extremely innovative and exploratory. – Špela Horvat, Sobota.Info (Kultura), 14 Jun
	[The children's picture book, Barvice, is] … highly innovative and exploratory … – Editorial, Sensa (Za navdih), 3 Feb
2010	[The exhibition Book Covers for Beletrina is called] … Cover star – Emily Gosling, Design Week, 30 Sep
	Her striking ex-libris are filled with figures and forms conveying symbolic messages. – Jadranka Ljubičič, Curator of Ex-libris (UNESCO World Book Capital 2010), Društvo likovnih umetnikov Ljubljana, 15 Jun
	[Prešeren’s longest work in verse, Baptism on the Savica, received] … a form as never seen before … [and] … the project gave Ljubljana a new artistic inspiration … – A.H., Dnevnik, 22 May
	Prešeren was stoically coping with the adornment, while two other statues nearby were observing this moment in silence. – Živa Rogelj, Poročila ob 13h (TV Slovenija 1), MMC RTV SLO, 21 May
2009	This is up to now by far the most beautiful edition of my book! It rarely comes to such harmony between the design and the content. – Ingo Schulze, Author of Mobi, quoted in Miriam Drev, Delo (Književni listi), 18 Feb
2008	The designer of the book Andreja Brulc conjured up an atmosphere entirely suited to the poems while at the same time she created her own vision of this festive and beautiful poetry. In the distance there is a sky with crimson red clouds, while on the paper torn out of a school notebook are plants, which appear as almost dry but at the same time alive in their persistence in growth, partially interwoven but upright and somehow spontaneously grown. – Marija Švajncer, Večer (Čitalnica), 15 Sep
2006	Words, words, words. The actual and virtual worlds we inhabit are full forms in which people share words about everything imaginable. But the Random Project does so in a slightly different way – by playing around with the physical nature of those words, teasing the typographic forms in which we encounter them. – John Stones, Design Week (Typography), 24 Aug

Testimonials //

2023	The exhibition Andreja Brulc: Odstiranja/Unveilings offers an insight into the unveiled fragments of Andreja Brulc’s multifaceted creative process. With the monumental installation Prešeren’s coat with its fluid wall of visual poetry in the form of a cascade of words from the poem Krst pri Savici and documentary photos of the project, the visual narrative begins. The exhibition symbolically and metaphorically represents autobiographical stories of life in two countries, two cities, through which Andreja interweaves her personal, residential, cultural and artistic identity in home and foreign environments (Tales of Two Cities, London Meal, Tower of Babel). The visual works are an interweaving of real and imaginary travel and the search for the washed-away self, displacement of the soul and rediscovery in the poetics of nature, art and vernacular tradition. In the exhibited illustrations, many created for the covers of literary works, in addition to the narrative, the artist (sub)consciously weaves into her work the search for her life story, which is inspired by the past, present and future – travelled paths, crossroads, moving abroad, belonging and the constant transformations in new life and social challenges. The sketchbooks offer an insight into the complex visualisation process and the illustrator’s intimate space for experimentation and creative exploration of the unknown. Using various techniques, she returns to the traditions of home crafts and old customs while connecting them to photography and digital media. – Karmen Volavšek, Curator of Andreja Brulc: Odstiranja/Unveilings, Exhibition Panel, Feb
2022	The exhibition Tales of Two Cities is a visual narrative about life in two cities – London and Kamnik – which Andreja symbolically and metaphorically presents with colourful crocheted wall installations, made especially for Knjižnica Franceta Balantiča Kamnik. The geometric shapes of colourful circles of different sizes represent autobiographical stories in both cities, through which the author interweaves her personal, residential, cultural and artistic identity in home and foreign environments. In the exhibited illustrations, many created for the covers of literary works, in addition to the narrative, the artist (sub)consciously weaves into her work the search for her life story, which is inspired by the past, present and future – travelled paths, crossroads, moving abroad, belonging and the constant transformations in new life and social challenges. The sketchbooks offer an insight into the complex visualisation process and the illustrator’s intimate space for experimentation and creative exploration of the unknown. Using various techniques, she returns to the traditions of home crafts and old customs while connecting them to photography and digital media. – Karmen Volavšek, Curator of Tales of Two Cities (Expect the Unexpected, ETU 22), Exhibition Panel, Sep
2017	I am very happy with the brand identity – business cards and flyers are wonderful. Photography is of high quality, what I always wanted. The website is very dynamic, clear and transparent, and is also very appealing to customers. The new look has had an excellent impact on the growth of our business. – Peter Galjot, Director of Harmonika Servis, Testimony, 22 Sep
	I have collaborated with Andreja on more than 300 book projects, and I have to say that I admire her passion for design and deep commitment to every single project, which includes very thorough study and research in order to create design that reflects all requirements, and sometimes also the impossible wishes and visions of the client. Although there were quite a few very tight deadlines, all materials were always produced according to schedule. – Marko Herzog, CTO & Production Director at Beletrina Academic Press, Testimony, 21 Sep
	The committee [of International Dendrology Society] really liked everything you did on the last two sites, so their brief for the next one is simple: more of the same! – Bill Hemsley, Director of Arkesis Ltd, Testimony, 17 Sep
2014	We are very happy with the work Andreja Brulc has done for us. She has shown commitment to understanding the aims and values of the organisation and translated this into a strong image that has now become the starting point of our branding and marketing campaign. – Emily Wood, CEO & Founder of Family First Aiders, Testimony, 29 Sep
	Andreja was a very attentive designer with many excellent ideas, yet able to incorporate our wishes into the project. She managed her tasks with immaculate precision, following through on the issues to the point where all the authors were satisfied. Throughout the design process for our book, she was a respectful and considerate artist. I would not hesitate to recommend her, or to work with her again in the future. – Benka Pulko, CEO of Undara Studio, Testimony, 27 Sep
	I think you surpassed yourself! The cover for my book is indescribably beautiful! I could not have dreamed of a better solution! The River Thames will still have to run without me ... – Aleš Šteger, Author of Odpusti, Testimony, 20 Mar
	Thanks for all the hard work done so far, this book is far superior to the other competing books. – Sheldon G. Bleasdell, Author of CAPE Unit 2: New Integrated Geography, Testimony, 2 Jan
2013	The design for my book is excellent both in terms of content (a play with typography, a cherry blossom and the panorama of Maribor) and in terms of composition and execution of colour (intensely red on a beautiful background).… Orpehus on the front and Eurydice on the back are the culmination of perfection. Thank you for this – you have contributed a significant share to the visual success of the book.… – Andrej Brvar, Author of Material, Testimony, 20 Mar
2010	excellent design … from the silhouette on the front cover – Jonathan Franzen, Author of The Discomfort Zone, Dedication Note, 9 May
2009	Andreja was a valuable member of the Photographic and Copyright Team at the Royal Academy of Arts … She was meticulous and hard working and worked on the larger and more complicated exhibitions … She also showed a great flair for design and whilst at the Royal Academy she also attended a specialised course in design and illustration at the London College of Communication. Here she developed her creative and unique talent which was quickly recognised by the Acting Head of Exhibition Organisation and was offered a designing job within the Exhibition Department of the Royal Academy. She rightly declined this and went on to win competitions and to prove herself in the publishing world with great success. I think her designs for book jackets are original and thought-provoking and show a great depth of understanding for the contents of the book. Also, whilst she was at the Royal Academy she took part in two group shows, which were widely acknowledged and well attended. – Miranda Bennion, Photographic and Copyright Manager at Royal Academy of Arts, Recommendation Letter, 14 Sep
	Andreja Brulc was a student on our pioneering course in Experimental Typography from 2004 at LCC … She was the first Slovenian student to attend … She was a dedicated and enthusiastic student who produced very strong and creative work … Andreja was subsequently selected to become one of the core members of the international Random Project. This was a collective of the most talented graphic designers and artists who had studied on the Experimental Typography course at LLC … Andreja firmly placed Slovene culture on the London map. She subsequently reinforced this by giving an inspiring talk on her projects showing visuals and discussing the artists behind her ideas. Andreja's original and innovative work has a great amount of potential in design and illustration on international level … – Sarah Hyndman, CEO & Director of Type Tasting, Recommendation Letter, 2 Sep
	I have a pleasure to recommend to you Andreja Brulc as an excellent, innovative and experimental artist and an art historian. She has a rare combination of theoretical and artistic education that enables her to draw upon a vast pool of different theoretical and conceptual material in her artistic work … All this, and far more her creativity, devotion to her artistic work and a perpetual search for new materials and mediums, make her one of the most interesting book and typography designers … One is stunned by the range of media that she uses in creation for each of the books according to its content and the atmosphere it produces. She uses as unusual techniques as potato printing, stitching, blotting and sawing to generate a truly unique and immediately recognisable artwork … I have worked with her for years as an art historian and at present, as a professor at an art college, and that was, and is a truly memorable collaboration. – Dr Jelena Todorović, Professor at Faculty of Fine Arts, Recommendation Letter, 30 Aug
	I am very pleased to say that Andreja Brulc was chosen to design and illustrate my book in a highly competitive Arts Council-sponsored competition run by an independent UK literary publisher, Myriad Editions. I strongly believe that her response to the brief expresses the right kind of feel and approach to the design that any author would wish for when seen his / her own book published. Her work shows a very deep understanding of the content of the book and an immense ability to tell the story in her personal language. Her choice of visual elements, textures and forms, were just what I was envisaging for this book. Apart from her very strong design and image proposals, I was particularly intrigued how and where she sourced an image of the main protagonist in my book, King Cole, an Aboriginal Cricketer, who came to London as part of the first Australian cricket team in 1868, especially as I hadn't seen the full Lawrence album before, where the team was reproduced. Like me, she is an exhaustive researcher (I love it). Also, I very much like the hand-drawn quality and slightly odd feeling of the type she has chosen, down to the double L’s and all, and would hate for it to be sacrificed to the god of Bland. I am very pleased that Andreja took such an interest and dedication in this project in order to win the competition, and would be very glad if that pays off. She designs to suit the cover for the real book that will be in everyone’s hands while they read, and hopefully reach for each day. – Ed Hillary, Author of The Clay Dreaming, Recommendation Letter, 24 Aug
	… I encountered Andreja Brulc's work in relation to the publishing house, Beletrina Academic Press, which by coincidence published two of my books this year. As a permanent designer for Beletrina Academic Press, she was of course responsible for my first book Snežne krogle, but I also invited her to participate in the creation of my second one, King Kong.… At this point, I have to … express my attitude towards books, in this case towards book design, and particularly towards book covers, because it may seem very strange to many people but I do not have any copies of my published books on my bookshelf.… [When I] got the email with a PDF containing the book cover for Snežne krogle … I shouted out with great joy because I was really excited.… I have already been working at the same time … on the exhibition I Was Disappointed by Lara Croft at the International Centre for Graphic Arts and I have managed to have my say on this occasion that, in addition to the book that put emphasis on theory, I should also publish my book King Kong, applying the practice, because the exhibition was about images from computer games, so it would seem sensible to write something about games and gameplaying. After the initial concept of Snežne krogle, I immediately suggested Andreja Brulc as a designer. It was agreed, so I had the chance that she was promptly sending me her concepts for King Kong. I was pleasantly surprised at her suggestion during our dicussions that the book should contain photographs as if we are already at play,… at least what the flat looks like in which the life of a gamer evolves, and at how selflessly she adopted photos … and … equally incorporated them into the book.… Mitja Čander, Chief Editor of Beletrina, telephoned me to say that Snežne krogle was released. I hurried to the publishing house and how indescribably pleased I was with the book. I will not talk about the content, but I can talk about the design that merges with the content in an incredibly sophisticated way. I am talking mainly about the fact that this is the first book that gained sovereignity on my bookshelf, and I can calmly watch it without shame and resistance. But this is not all, because the book was accidentally joined a few days later by another book, King Kong, as already mentioned, also under the hands of Andreja Brulc, so I can freely finally have two books of mine on the shelf, and I can, therefore, recommend Andreja Brulc, with all due respect without hesitation … – Milan Kleč, Author of King Kong, Recommendation Letter, 24 Aug
	Due to her outstanding portfolio of book cover designs, I, Creative Director of Myriad Editions, invited Andreja Brulc in July 2009 for a public competition to submit a book cover design for The Clay Dreaming by Ed Hillyer.… As part of our Arts Council-funded brief, we are actively seeking different artists and designers for each of our publications, to showcase the range of talent there is in the South East of England.… For the competition Andreja submitted four designs (the brief asked for up to six roughs), three of which come very close in the final selection among a very large number of competitors. The draft covers were considered by the Myriad team as well as the author and distributors. In addition to the winning cover artwork, we may want to use an artwork she produced for her second submission for the inside. Andreja is to complete the front cover for immediate use for advertising and promotion, while the full cover design, including the back cover and spine, will be required for completion by beginning of December.… Andreja’s work has shown a very creative and initutive response to the brief. She has proved to have a great new talent for book cover design. We believe she has a promising future in the industry as a designer and artist, and we are very pleased to have chosen her as a winner for this book. – Corinne Pearlman, Creative Director of Myriad Editions, Recommendation Letter, 24 Aug
	As an international exhibition space for contemporary art, we want to encourage and provide opportunities for the development of new, innovative, critical and creative potential in the field of visual communication. Offering this opportunity to Andreja … was confirmed as the right decision, not only because of her close cooperation with us throughout the project but also in the final outcome … Her design concept shows a visual story as a whole, which connects the cover to the interior in a most individual way, yet at the same time through a highly modern language of expression. The interior layout is stylistically compatible with the cover, through the image and the text, the use of typography and the treatment of photography. The cover, drawn upon humorous and travelogue lines from cut-outs of photographs, tells the story of the author, playing computer games in an intimate ambience. – Liljana Stepančič, Director of International Centre for Graphic Arts, Recommendation Letter, 24 Aug
	I was Head of Exhibitions Organisation at the Royal Academy of Arts from 1999 until 2006, and during this time Andreja worked as part of the team I managed … She was an immensely valuable part of the team, and over the years she worked on countless exhibitions of international renown … Due to her interest to learn design and illustration, I allowed Andreja to take one day off each week in order to study a specialised studies in design and illustration at the London College of Communication. Since then Andreja's work has gone from strength to strength, and she has developed into a very successful designer and illustrator. Her work is both innovative and erudite, and I think she has enormous talent and will go very far. Andreja has enormous intellectual and academic experience and brings this to her work. You will also see that she has a very individual style which takes both from art history and perhaps also her motherland of Slovenia and European roots. – Emily Winston, Head of Exhibitions at Royal Academy of Arts, Recommendation Letter, 23 Aug
	Andreja Brulc shows a great creative potential, using an interesting mixture of techniques. She has developed her own distinctive style, which on the one hand has a strong effect on the visibility of Beletrina as a recognisable brand on bookshelves, while on the other hand enables her to uniquely design each cover in the spirit of the content of the literary work. – Igor Brlek, Director of Beletrina Academic Press & Mitja Čander, Chief Editor at Beletrina Academic Press, Recommendation Letter (Slovenia), 18 Aug
2008	Thank you for all the hard work done on … [Kafka] campaign as the outcome is superb. – Sanja Grobovšek, Marketing Director of Beletrina Academic Press, Testimony, 6 May
