Elegant Fighter Painting

I'm a visual artist based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, with over seven years of professional painting practice focused on oil and watercolor figurative symbolic and semi-abstract contemplative art. I'm also professionally experienced in other visual mediums, such as graphic design and digital textile design. My painting practice is a journey of self-discovery. It is a form of meditation and introspection that helps me connect to my inner world and translate my emotions and reflections on life into my paintings. My paintings evoke a sense of contemplation and tranquility, inviting you to pause, reflect, and be fully present in the moment. Each painting carries a veil of mystery and subtle symbolism that sparks curiosity, encouraging a deeper exploration beneath the surface. In my creative process, I strive to honor Nature as much as the artistic expression itself. I use high-quality eco-friendly materials, including water-soluble oil paints, handmade watercolors, and recycled handmade cotton paper. I also enjoy experimenting with botanical inks and repurposed materials, transforming them into unique, one-of-a-kind artworks. This commitment to sustainability not only fuels my creativity but also reflects my belief in living harmoniously with the world around us. I hope my art resonates with you, bringing a sense of calm and contemplation into your life, just as it does in mine. For more info, please visit my website: marijastefanovic.art
