Tjaša Rener

Tjaša Rener is a Slovenian figurative artist and printmaker based in Accra. After earning her Masters Of Fine Arts from the University Of Ljubljana where she was awarded a special merit prize, Tjaša moved to a remote village by lake Bosumtwi, situated over a meteorite impact crater, in 2013. For the next 3 years, she became part of a local community where she had her first real foray into the culture and its customs. As a figurative artist, she was naturally inspired to paint portraits of her fellow villagers. She also ran a successful Kickstarter campaign for an original picture book, A Story From Africa, which was presented at the Slovenian Biennale Of Illustration, and which she then published one year after.
