Finished drawing

Jaanika Peerna

When looking at Jaanika Peerna's artwork. This one, in particular, caught my eyes. The reason why is because of the symmetry and repetition of shapes you can see when looking at this piece of fine art. Even in the shadows to the right of the work shows that a lot of design went into her artwork.

Mixed Media Final Drawing

Jaanika Peerna

Jaanika Peerna is an Estonian-born artist who has been working in New York since 1998. She tends to create drawings, videos, and light installations often dealing with transitions in light, air, wind, and water. The piece I chose is called, Ripples of gravity series 1. The media used is pigment and water on plastic paper. I chose this piece because I was drawn to the geometry of it. I also love that it has so much detail with just black, white, and grey as the color scheme.

This piece of work is called “spill” and she used graphite and colored pencils on Mylar. I love her abstract pieces and her realistic take on this drawing. Her techniques make it look very realistic and there is a lot of contrast within the drawing, which is impressive.

Puff Series

This drawing by Jaanika Peerna is "Puff Series," and is 11 x 9 inches. It is graphite and pencil on mylar. I found Peernas artwork very intriguing I like how the images all show movement and appear flowy. I like how her drawings use line and lighting to create beautiful contrast. I also liked how definitive each line is.

Thaw Series 4

This piece of artwork is made on 2 layers of plastic paper which is 53x36 and the medium is granite and colored pencil. I chose this piece of artwork because it stood out to me the most out of all of her drawings. I love how loose it is and how simple the colors are. I usually do not like pieces like this because I do not understand how people can get money for something so simple like this. I sometimes say "hey maybe I can do that", but I have come to learn it depends on how the audience views the piece of artwork. This can take me back to a memory I have because it looks like something that I saw that day. Overall, I really like it and would honestly have it hanging up in my house.
