LEVSTIK AWARD

The 2001 Levstik Award for Lifetime Achievements in Children’s Literature (Illustration)

Danijel Demšar

5/8/1954

Not only does Danijel Demšar hold a degree in Fine Arts, but he is also a graphic designer, puppeteer, and, most importantly, storyteller. He narrates stories through painting, uses colours and shapes instead of language, and conjures up the atmosphere with the help of his special powers. His illustrations innovatively complement the written narrative; all along, Demšar remains self-reliant, unmindful of tradition or fashion trends.
