“The artistic expression of Vanda Čižmek is characterized by a distinct purity of stylization of characters, shapes and spaces. The author in the simple way shapes the specific and striking character of the flat space in which the story takes place. The geometrized space creates a background on which the emotional states of the main character stand out. The overall impression recols to mind a contemporary reinterpretation of some elements of artistic expression that could have resulted from respect for the tradition of great samples of the Zagreb School of Animated Films. Silvija Šesto’s text gained a new dimension in the best way in a harmonious relationship with the excellent illustrations by Vanda Čižmek.”
