Jovanka Stokic

Art has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. For years, creating remained something deeply personal — a way to process experience, observe the world more closely, and make sense of what often cannot be expressed in words. Sharing my work publicly comes after a long private journey rather than a sudden beginning.

My work moves between illustration and surreal landscape, inspired by everyday impressions, memories, and inner imagery. I am interested in the subtle shift between reality and imagination — the moment when something familiar becomes slightly unexpected.

Painting allows me to slow down and translate inner states into visual form. Each piece reflects an ongoing exploration of perception, atmosphere, and the quiet tension between what we see and what we feel.
