Let's talk about personal statements
Mulle on just viimastel päevadel päris mitu-mitu korda öeldud, et kas sa oleks võimalik näha mu personal statemente ülikoolidesse/kunstikoolidesse. Et jaja..et kõik teavavad et see tegelikult väga isiklik asi..kuid et kas kuidagi saaks ikka piiluda?
No minugi poolest:)
Iga kunsti-disaini kool tahab näha erinevat asja personal statemntis,seetõttu olen pidanud muutma seda veits ühte või teistmoodi iga erineva kooli jaoks. St.Martins näiteks arvas et nad soovivad must lugeda alla 200 sõna..mis on oiioiiii kui vähe! eriti arvestades sellega et originaal personal statement on mul üle 600 sõna pikk.
igaljuhul..näitan mõlemat..nii megalühikest st.martinsi oma, kui ka pikemat mis läks college of fashionisse ja muudesse koolidesse. äkki on abiks kellegile?
tahaks vägaväga tänada Mrs. Lamondi, kes vahest tsekib seda blogi ka..missiiis et ta ei saa sõnagi eesti keelest aru:) ta on mu head of art dep, naine tänu kelleta ei suudaks ma pintslitki kätte võtta ilmselt. peaks temast korralikuma postituse ka kirjutama kunagi. aga jah, Mrs Lamond on imetore ja kunstnik ja siiani 25 õpetajaaasta jooksul pole üksi ta õpilane eksamihinde alla A saanud..ning ükski neist kellele ta on loa andnud kandideerida St.Martinsisse..pole olnud rejected.ja omal ajal on ta olnud isegi selles st.martinsi nö vastuvõtu kommiteeees. niiet suht ulme naine. ja tema valvsa pilgu all on kirjutatud ka need personal statemendid..ning siiani pole mulle ükski kool veel selga pööranud:))niiet hoiame pöidlad pihus, et kõik nii jätkusksi!
St.Martins personal statement:
Art and design have always had an important place in my life. Since my early childhood, when I travelled with my parents, from one shoe fair to another, I knew that this was something I wanted to do in my future.
My multicultural background, mother from Ukraine and father from Estonia, has helped me to understand different cultures, which has influenced my artwork a lot. Being fluent in Russian, English, Estonian and studying French for 7 years has given me many opportunities in the design world.
I try to connect my artwork and photography as much as possible and different workshops and extensive research (including silk-screen printing, art textiles, life drawing etc) have taught me how to do it in more visually interesting ways.
Robert Rauschenberg and Christian Boltanski are two artists, who have influenced my work the most.
I was winner of multiple design competitions, including Estonian’s Best Young Fashion Designer 2007 and The Pink Scissors Grand Prix 2006. Winning Quelle’s,the International shopping catalogue’s, design competition in 2007 has been one of the highlights of my life. An entire range of my designs were produced in large numbers, sold online and in “Quelle” catalogue as a part of the Spring/Summer 2008 collection.
Workshops, work experience and my cultural background have all made me really open about different aspects of Art and Design. I love to challenge myself and break the lines between art, design, fashion and photography.

Art and design have always had an important place in my life. Since my early childhood, when I travelled with my parents (who have been in the shoe design business over 20 years now), from one shoe fair to another, I knew that this was something I wanted to do in my future.
My multicultural background, mother who is Russian and father from Estonia, has helped me to understand different cultures and stories behind them, which has influenced my artwork a lot. Being fluent in Russian, English, Estonian and studying French for 7 years has given me many opportunities in design world.
I’ve been interested in photography for years and developed my photographic skills, using darkroom and digital photography (e.g photoshop) in my A-level photography course. My photographic work is influenced by Magnum photographers and Steven Meisel, who takes fashion photography to whole new level. Also, I think it’s very important to know and admire photographers, who have the same background as you. Estonian photographers, who have influenced my work are Johannes Paasuke and Toomas Volkmann.
I try to connect my artwork and photography as much as possible and different workshops and extensive research(including screen printing-8 weeks, art textiles-6 weeks, 2 x 6 weeks life drawing etc) have taught me how to do it in more visually interesting ways.
Robert Rauschenberg and Christian Boltanski are two artists, who have influenced my work the most. I admire how Rauschenberg has used screen printing and 3D objects in his “combines” . Lately, I’ve become more and more interested in installations, because Boltanski’s work impressed me so much. It is amazing how much his artwork can challenge and question our minds in relation to our perception of life and death.
I was winner of multiple fashion and design competitions, including Estonian’s Best Young Fashion Designer 2007 and The Pink Scissors Grand Prix 2006. On 2007, I was also invited to organize the Pink Scissors show, which was a great experience. I learned so much about entire fashion industry and media, which also helped me to develop my organisational skills. Winning Quelle’s,the International shopping catalogue’s, design competition in 2007 has been one of the highlights of my life. An entire range(7 garments) of my designs were produced in large numbers, sold online and in “Quelle” catalogue as a special edition part of the Spring/Summer 2008 collection.
I’ve also been running an Estonian fashion and art blog for years and was a fashion editor in a Estonian national student newspaper from 2006-2007, before I came to England.
From 2006-2009, I worked in multiple places in design industry. From 2006 to 2008, I was assistant shoe buyer in Suurtuki Kinga- ja Nahaari(the biggest shoe shop in Baltic), visited design fairs in Italy, Riva del Garda and met people who has been involved in this business for years. From 2007-2008 I worked with Quelle and designers from the Hula group, who helped me to make my designs more commercial. In 2008 I worked with Estonian photographer Mardo Mannimagi as a model and became very interested in photography, so after some time I learned some basic photography skills from him. I spent summer 2009 working in Tiina Talumees couture house( who is the most successful Estonian independent fashion designer) to get some more work experience in that field. I helped her develop her new collection and saw various stages of the design process.
Workshops, work experience, research and my cultural background have all made me really open about different aspects of Art and Design. I love to challenge myself and break lines between art, design, fashion and photography. If my artwork and photographs challenge people’s minds and make a small change at how people see things around them, then I think I have achieved what I have set out to do.
