In an interview with Bored Panda, Ema shared a bit about herself: “I have had a weird relationship with art since I was young since I don't see with one of my eyes; a lot of times, I had to learn how to approach drawing differently. But because of 'my evil eye,' I like to think that I see things differently and create some things that other people don’t see.”
We were curious to know what drew Ema to the world of artistry.
She responded: “At first, I didn’t really try to pursue the dream of becoming an artist, I was planning to be a chemistry engineer. But in the first semester of studying, I got a chance to illustrate a book for the musician/poet Aleksandras Makejevas, and that changed my perspective on life, and I realized that I wanted to create art.”
Ema also shared about her creative process.
“Most of my ideas come from very strong emotions. I feel like the easiest way to describe your feelings and face them is through art. At points, it gets too hard to draw the feelings, so I have a few hours for myself to reflect and detangle all the difficult emotions. And this is honestly my process, I let myself feel things, and the ideas come to me on their own,” wrote Ema.
In regards to the audience's takeaway, Ema commented: “I hope that after looking at my art and the little details I draw, my audience starts to notice more little details around them on their way to school, work, or any other place.”
Lastly, the artist added: “Be yourself and create with your emotions!”
