The Mediteran: the View from the Island of Mamula Painting

Tijana Stojičić was born in Belgrade in 1983 and creates under the artistic name Tikka. As a contemporary artist, she has devoted herself to visual art in the field of abstract painting. Tikka creates paintings that employ mainly acrylics, watercolors and mixed media. Email: Instagram: Her latest works are inspired by the Mediterranean coast, the ever-changing nature of the sea, and the mesmerizing sound of ocean waves. By using pronounced texture and combining different techniques, she transfers the harmonious relationship between elusive waves and seemingly rough, rocky Mediterranean shores onto canvas, highlighting the organic patterns present in the vastness of the sea. Her paintings are driven by emotions and depict a flirtatious game of the pinches of realismus and liberating abstractus. The gift of creativity has always been encoded in her DNA. She creates and works in Belgrade.
