Claudette Colvin (2022) Digital Arts by Silvana Klaric
"Fine-Arts" prints on paper
It is a process of printing on art paper using very high-quality pigment inks and printed in very high definition. Its level of conservation is exceptional (more than 100 years), its quality, depth, and richness of nuances exceeds the classic photo print on Argentic paper.
Glossy finish
Apart from its exceptional thickness, the fiber paper is composed of an alpha-cellulose base without acid and it is covered with barium sulphate, and a microporous layer absorption enhancing pigments during printing. A pure white color, non-yellowing to light, this paper is especially designed for resistance and aging. It is used by major museums worldwide as it offers excellent resolution, rendering deep and dense colors.

We learned how this event sparked the Montgomery bus boycott, a political and social protest campaign against the policy of racial segregation in the public transit system of Montgomery, Alabama.
The truth is more complex, though.
The first spark for this foundational event in the civil rights movement in the United States was ignited by a young black teenager, Claudette Colvin.
On March 2, 1955, nine months before Rosa Parks did it; this bright fifteen-year-old girl refused to give up her seat to a white woman.
A bus driver called the police, and when they prompted Claudette to get up and give her seat, she started shouting,
"It's my constitutional right to sit here as much as that lady. I paid my fare. It's my constitutional right!"
The police pulled Claudette out of her seat, dragged her off the bus, and took her to the adult city jail. They accused her falsely of breaking the segregational law and attacking the officer. Although the reverend Johnson bailed her out, she was left with a criminal record for the next sixty-six years and suffered greatly from its effects on her life.
So why didn't we hear about Claudette Colvin as the first woman refusing to give up her seat and "seat down for her rights" and as the first one to break segregational rules? And why didn't we hear about other women that came before Rosa Parks: Aurelia Browder Coleman and Mary Louise Smith?
In those delicate times ridden with violence against black people, a person representing black people's cause ought to be 'palatable' to the whites, and Rosa Parks, a forty-two-year-old, light-skinned seamstress and NAACP (The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) secretary seemed like the 'right' choice.Claudette herself stated, "I do feel like what I did was a spark and it caught on. I'm not disappointed. Let the people know Rosa Parks was the right person for the boycott. But also let them know that the attorneys took four other women to the Supreme Court to challenge the law that led to the end of segregation."
There is an excellent book for those wanting to know more: "Claudette Colvin, Twice Toward Justice."

I was born in Eastern Europe, in a beautiful coastal city in Croatia, where I lived my first 33 years.For as long as I remember, I wanted to be an artist. To become one, I needed to beat the various odds and remove obstacles thrown my way, and there were many. My parents thought that a life of an artist was too arduous and offered a slim possibility of success, even more for a woman. They vehemently disagreed when I proposed studying art and pursuing an artistic career. Instead, to the Academy of Art, they sent me to the Classical gymnasium and hoped I would study Law afterwards. I rebelled. I wouldn't study, and my grades were terrible.
My father couldn't take the embarrassment, so he made me drop out of school. The same year he divorced my mother, and she ended up in a mental institution. She was bipolar and suffered from mania and depression her entire life. Any time she would go through stressful periods, she would land in a psychiatric hospital. Her mental illness and my father's abandonment and disinterest marked my life.
I never received support or encouragement to pursue my artistic goals, and I fought tooth and nail for my right to do what I felt was my calling.
I emigrated to Italy in 1989, two years before the horrendous civil war shook my country.In 1995 I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and had surgery and radiation. The surgery and radiation helped, but I wouldn't have survived without art. I started painting on glass, copying readymade patterns, convinced I had lost my artistic talent. Slowly, slowly I built my skills back and started to create my own art.
In 2009 at the age of 50, I emigrated to Canada. In 2013 I graduated with honours from the Fine Arts Faculty in Toronto, finally calling myself an artist. Although I was one all the while, now, I had 'a proof.'
My art is my sweet OCD, and I can't live without it. My art is also my antidepressant. It lifts me up when I am feeling down. Luckily, I have stopped listening to the voices from my childhood that told me I would never succeed. What is a success after all? Art makes me happy, and it makes people that like it happy, and that is all that counts.
I love exploring. I painted on wood, glass, paper, leather, and canvas and recently decided to explore the world of digital art. The more I do art, the more I become brave in my artistic adventures, and I love this feeling. I paint with a full-on feeling, and nothing holds me back anymore. Unafraid, I adventure into new mediums and exploration of new themes.
