She is a painter who delivers decorativeness in form and colours, expressed in conjunction with elementary symbolism in drawing. She has always been inspired by Gustav Klimt, who was also a decorator and a painter. Dreja Novak places powerful emphasis on colours, beauty and emotions in her works, which can be especially seen in the eyes of portraits or fictitious personalities.

She steps to a canvas with a desire to make a beautiful painting based on given idea, philosophy or simple story, with no interest in competing with contemporaries, preferring instead to set her own goals. Her style is to bring classical drawing, as are portraits, and selected aspects of modern art to produce fantastic space and magical story into Nuveau Deco.

Dreja's works can be found in private collections all over the world from New Zealand, Argentina, Brazil, Italy, Singapore, Thailand, Croatia and other. To Dreja, painting is like a journey which shifts her into a creative world of stories and every new location and culture change brings new knowledge and ideas. Her deep passion for painting is rewarded by many happy people owning her works.
