Marija Stefanovic

I'm a visual artist based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. My work focuses on symbolic, and semi-abstract contemplative art made with the highest quality eco friendly materials. 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 fuels my creativity and reflects my belief in living harmoniously with the world around us.
