Autumn leaves by Bernardo Brčić

"Autumn leaves"
The inspiration for the " Autumn leaves carpet design came from nature and painting techniques of stained glass. I personally consider that Autumn is the most beautiful season of the year because of beautiful color palette and the color game that surrounds us in that season. The rich and various colors void general acceptance of the autumn as dark and gray season preceding the winter.
Wide range of colors and various tone values offers us a natural palette that we just have to "collect and transfer" on paper or in this case on a carpet.
The technique of stained glass falls under the painting technique in which parts of colored glass are bonded with lead or iron. Its main feature is game of painted glass and light since the image changes depending on different intensity of the light.
The carpet "Autumn leaves" is created as a combination of natural and human activities, more precisely richness of the colors of the autumn and painting techniques of stained glass.
The compound that connects the color imitates the bond of glass, while the colors on the carpet are imitation of painted glass.
The synthesis of natural and human can be found on most of the artwork through history.
The choice of toned down colors make this carpet acceptable in most of the interior.
The carpet is an abstract artwork, i.e. the composition has a strong contrast and rhythm but still a balanced artwork.

„Boje Jeseni“
Inspiracija za tepih „Boje Jeseni“ proizašla je iz prirode i slikarske tehnike vitraj.
Osobno smatram da je Jesen najljepše godišnje doba radi prekrasnih paleta boja i same igre boja koja nas okružuje u tom godišnjem dobu.
Same boje jeseni negiraju opće prihvaćanje jeseni kao jednog tmurnog i sivog godišnjeg doba koje prethodi zimi. Široki raspon boja i tonskih vrijednosti pruža nam bogatu prirodnu paletu koju samo treba „skupiti i prenijeti“ na papir ili u ovom slučaju na tepih.
Tehnika vitraj spada pod slikarske tehnike. Vitraj je spoj obojenog stakla koji se spaja olovom ili željezom. Njena osobitost je igra obojanog stakla i svjetla, sam vitraj nikada ne pruža isti doživljaj radi različitog inteziteta prolaska svjetlnosnih zraka.
Tepih „Boje Jeseni“ nastao spojem prirodnog i ljudskog djelovanja odnosno raskoši godišnjeg doba i slikarske tehnike vitraj. Spoj koji spaja boje imitira spoj vitraja, dok su boje na tepihu imitacija obojanog stakla. Upravo sintezu prirodnog i ljudskog možemo pronaći na većini likovnih djela kroz povijest.
Odabir zagasitih boja koje se tonskom modelacijom stupnjevaju kako bi dobili kontrast sa par jakih dominati koje učvrščuju kompoziciju, čine ovaj tepih prihvatljivim u većini interijera.
Sam tepih je apstraktan, odnosno kompozicija ima naglašen kontrast i ritam ali ipak je uravnoteženo likovno djelo.

About Bernardo Brčić

My name is Bernardo Brčić and I was born in 1985 in Zagreb.
I grew up surrounded by art and under strong influence of architecture and design thanks to my parents. My father who is an architect and mother, a professor passed their love for art to me and influenced my professional life as well. All through my growing up I expressed affinity for drawing so in 2000 I enrolled in School of applied arts in Zagreb.
Through formal education in the area of applied arts, more precisely graphic design I got new insights in the field of drawing, graphic and design. I was drawn to graphic design primarily as I was impressed how artists were able to transform their ideas, impressions and emotions into art.
Also I learned how design developed from classic graphic techniques to more contemporary form. After high school I started studies at Faculty of design in Zagreb where I learned more about visual communication. It the same time I started to work in design studio specialized in creating visual identities for various business subjects as well as government and non-government institutions where I continued to work after I got my degree.
Three years ago I got the opportunity to work as a school teacher, where I’m currently working as a teacher of graphic design and art history in School of graphic, design and media production in Zagreb.
As a teacher I try to pass on my own knowledge and experience to younger generations.

Bernardo Brčić rođen 20.09.1985. u Zagrebu, Hrvatska.
Od malena na mene je osobno utjecala likovna umijetnost ponajviše arhitektura, a kasnije i grafika, zahvaljući roditeljima koji su prenjeli ljubav prema likovnosti. Pošto mi je otac arhitekt, a majka profesorica moj profeionalni život će se nekako spojiti sa profesijama mojih roditelja.
Tijekom mladosti pokazali su se afiniteti prema crtanju pa sam stoga upisao 2000. godine upisao Školu primjenjenih umjetnosti i dizajna u Zagrebu, to je škola sa dugom tradicijom u oblikovanju i stvaranja uporabnih predmeta.
Obrazovajući se u smjeru primjenjenih umjetnosti u klasi grafičkog dizajna stvaraju se nove spoznaje u polju crtanja, grafike i dakako dizajna. Odlučio sam se za smjer Grafički dizajn jer me impresioniralo kako su umjetnici prenosili svoje impresije i emocije na grafike. Školovanje mi je pružilo uvid u povijest likovne umjetnosti, upoznavajući evoluciju klasične grafike prema modernom načinu izražavanja kao što su bili prvi grafički plakati, samim time javlja se nova zainteresiranost za suvremeni grafičkim dizajnom.
Prirodni sljed nakon srednje škole je upis 2004. godine na Studiji dizajna u Zagrebu. Kroz fakultet stječem nova znanja u vizualnim komunikacijama, a radne vještine, iskustvo i usavršavanje stječem u dizajn studiju specijaliziranom za pružanje cjelovitih implementacija vizualnog identiteta. Nakon završetka obrazovanja na studiju ostao sam raditi u dizajn studiji gdje sam imao prilike sudjelovati na oblikovanju različitih dizajn rješenja za nezavisne institucije, ali i za korporativne ali i za državne subjekte.
Kako je vrijeme prolazilo ukazala mi se mogučnost da pređem u nastavničke vode, odnosno da postanem nastavnik u srednjoj školi za Grafiku dizajn i medijsku produkciju u Zagrebu, gdje predajem grafički dizajn, likovnu umjetnost i praktičnu nastavu. Kao nastavnik pokušavam prenjeti svoja znanja i iskustva mlađima kako bi se razvili, a ponajviše stekli nova iskustava u likovnosti.

Excellent Service and Products
I wanted to reserve a carpet as I was abroad when I made my choice and there was only 1 left. I was able to telephone and speak to a very helpful lady who arranged for the carpet to be delivered 2 days after my return 3 weeks later. A week later, I chose another one with a 10% further discount for buying again and that arrived promptly also after another discussion with another helpful lady. I now have 2 fabulous rugs at a very decent price. Yes, the 'Handloom Fringe' carpet is shedding where one sits but I well remember a fitted carpet shedding for 6 months prior to stopping. So I hope it will stop eventually. DPD deliver promptly.
