Marija was born in Belgrade / Serbia in 1976 where she graduated from the University of Fine Arts in 2001 as a Sculptor. In 2004 she moved to Chicago with her husband, where she started working in her art studio with traditional painting and sculpturing materials. Two years later she started using modern technologies, as well.

Today she is a multimedia artist of a very wide spectrum which covers huge the array of very different techniques: from traditional approach to the latest fine art programs. Therefore is using clay for sculpting, creating oil on canvas, making colorful drawings watercolors and pastels on paper; doing photography, and using the latest computer programs for 2D and 3D design of fine art pieces, like Adobe Suite for digital graphics and ZBrush for digital sculpting.

She is using Unreal Engine for creating space needed for exhibitions. Because of her great artistic results achieved, the international critics placed her among the best contemporary artists of today in many important books, mentions, exhibitions, blogs and magazines all over the world.

Marija is a figurative artist that creates vibrant compositions that are always captivating capable to express a complete vision of the world around her by giving shape and color to sounds, movement, thoughts, moods and feelings, to discover what is beneath. As time was passing her artistic journey became very unique.

Her poetry of vibration of shapes and colors created a new sophisticated artistic point of view of the reality as it is created by observers that are going direction navigated by art. Her interest in modern science was a spontaneous search for answers for philosophical questions about the purpose of art in general.

Visual Art is all about passing energy to other people through the symbols and vibration of lines, color wavelengths, and shapes of the artwork in a space that surrounds it, while the meaning of the artwork is not only what composition actually presents, but a specific structure of that art piece, that makes a human being able to notice a beauty as a source of harmony.

Artists are navigating our thoughts, to create a new reality. Public that is observing art pieces are the triggers that spread every creation they analyzed. This means that observers are shaping the world together with the artist, by putting gradually in reality the message of the artwork, just like the sea waves are shaping stones on a coast.

So what is the shape of an art piece then? The shape of one art piece exists to transfer the energy not through physical material it is made of, but by the idea it carries hidden within its composition, initiated by audience observation and analyses.
