Anica Kodila, Home Decorator's Art

Tu pride flash

Anica Kodila is a native of Doljni Zomun near Ilirska Bistrica. She has lived in Australia for nearly fifty years and resides in Melbourne. She acquired some knowledge and skill at home. She inherited her love of needlework from her mother, who taught her to cross-stitch and embroider pillows and sheets. In Australia she greatly developed her skills and became one of the leading handicraft makers. This is an exhibition of ornamental items which Anica Kodila displays in her home for Christmas season. The rich display of objects which she designed and made herself reflects her extraordinary creativity and also the gift that she makes to her family and friends of her home at Christmas time, which is celebrated according to Slovenian tradition with a great deal of pomp and ceremony, as well as the warmth of the family home.

Galeria Sloveniana

Galeria Sloveniana is the online gallery of Slovenian art. The primary role of the gallery is to present and document the works of contemporary artists of Slovenian descent.

The main theme of the gallery is the exploration of common denominators constituting Slovenian art. The gallery is giving the opportunity to emerging and developing artists to present their work to the global community and stimulate exploration of the Slovenian identity through art.

The word "Sloveniana" represents the idea of Slovenian art. It literally means a selection of cultural objects and memorabilia specific for a definite period or space, in this case, cultural icons associated with Slovenia. We are familiar with the usage in words such as Australiana or Victoriana (suffix - iana taken from Latin). This name links the Slovenianness of cultural life to generally known concepts, and at the same time lends exhibitions meaning and direction. The term provides visibility and recognition of Slovenian identity and heritage in the multicultural mosaic of the modern world.
