B.Polanec

Boštjan Polanec is interdisciplinary Slovenian designer, graphic and artist.

As early as 10 I started to paint. Exploring myself through life always attracted more and more materials in various fields.
I completed my training as a printmaker. This was the greatest opportunity to explore even more materials and to consequently infiltrate to various creative areas.
My formal education has ended there. In the educational system I did not find a suitable direction in which to upgrade my knowledge and experience. Therefore, I chose a private way of education. For my development I chose Slovenian master Mateja Benedetti (world well-known costume and fashion designer), because, as she puts it, never say HOW or WHAT but how you FEEL and what you want to SAY.

I am now researching myself through different techniques, materials and my eyes are wide opened.
I am unpredictable, random, various, always growing and learning. Never knowing where I am going until I get there, connected to my work / designs everywhere and all the time, which allows me to never be the same person twice. My simplicity is shown at one point: I always exactly know what I want to do.

Story is important for me so materials are not limited. They must be incorporated in the interpretation of the story I want to tell no matter what their primary purpose should be in the eyes of society.
