Uvod * Introduction
Grafična ustvarjalnost Nine Zelenko po vsebinski plati temelji na pripovednosti, po tehnološki pa izhaja iz žlahtne tradicije barvne jedkanice. Umetnica na svojih grafičnih listih neguje predvsem motive, ki so povezani z naravo, s pokrajino, z živimi bitji in posebej s človekom, hkrati pa ob teh razvija svojstven fantazijski svet, izražen z nenavadnimi likovnimi metaforami.
The themes of Nina Zelenko's etchings tell us stories and the technology she uses draws roots from the noble tradition of colour printmaking. Through her prints the artist cherishes everything connected to nature, to landscape and its creatures and especially to humans. With these themes she develops a unique word of fantasy expressed through her unusual metaphors.

Poglavitne vrednote njene grafične ustvarjalnosti so izjemno občutena in nežna poetična izpovednost, prefinjena govorica linij in uglašenega kolorita, ki temeljijo na izjemni tenkočutnosti. Njen likovni svet je razpoznaven in avtorsko zaznamovan, to hkrati pomeni, da je pristen in iskren. V njenih grafikah je vsekakor opazno, da avtorica nenehno stopnjuje in poglablja svoj odnos do obravnavane likovne tematike in s tem dograjuje izpovedno moč in kakovost svojih grafičnih del.
The main value of her etchings lies in her extremely perceptible and sensitive narrative as well as in the refined drawing and colour which are all based in her exceptional sensibility. Her art is easily recognisable and bears a unique artistic mark which also means that it is genuine and sincere. It is clearly evident that the artist constantly intensifies her relationship towards her themes and in this way upgrades her narrative power and the quality of her etchings.
