Marija Stefanovic

ARTIST STATEMENT:

My artistic practice is a meditative and introspective journey that helps me visualise the emotions and subconscious imagery that shape our collective human experience.
I often reflect on themes such as emotions, spiritual transformation, resilience, and healing, and I express them through visual metaphors and subtle symbolism.
Through my ongoing studies and practice in art therapy, I aim to explore the
relationship between visual art, subconscious mechanisms, and the healing power of the creative process further. I strongly believe that artistic practice can be both expressive and environmentally conscious, so I'm committed to using natural, non-toxic, and ethically sourced materials while continually exploring new methods to create in harmony with nature.
