As for his creative process, Vorja explains: “I try to be alert to those forms, generally of the organic constitution that I find in everyday life. In the sketchbook, I usually make a quick note of the basic structure, or of how the different elements that share or inhabit the same space are connected. Later, I develop it in my studio. It is fun to play at giving an appearance to fauna and flora that a priori (rationally) should not have.
Nature, being ubiquitous, allows you to empathize with a creature even if you have never seen it before. You can create a being with a new appearance, but if you follow the guidelines you observe in the natural elements, it will be familiar, friendly. That’s the point I’m trying to reach with my work. Nature, in its inherent essence, grants the same dynamics of form regardless of the transcendence or size of each being, plant, or element.”
Check out the artist’s social media for some more interesting content: “I like to show my followers what is ‘behind the scenes’. In the IG stories, I usually share the nature that surrounds me and from which my work is nourished, but also work processes, painting techniques, everything that I think might interest them! I do the same thing having few or many followers. But I do the same, regardless of the number of followers. In that sense, nothing changes.”
