Marija's artistic practice is deeply rooted in the meditative act of painting, serving as a conduit for personal introspection and emotional expression. Her immersive, contemplative creative process enables her to connect with her innermost thoughts and feelings.

This contemplative approach extends beyond the artist's own experience, as she aims to evoke a similar sense of introspection in viewers. Through her artwork, she invites audiences to join her on a journey of self-reflection, contemplating the fragility of nature and human existence and the interconnectedness of all beings. 

Symbolism holds a prominent place within the artist's practice, with each carefully chosen symbol carrying layers of meaning. Viewers are encouraged to delve beneath the surface of the artwork, exploring the depths of symbolism and unlocking new perspectives.

Themes of fragility and impermanence recur throughout the artist's oeuvre, capturing the fleeting beauty inherent in transient moments. By highlighting the imperfections and vulnerabilities that define human experience, the artist seeks to cultivate a deeper appreciation for life's richness and the inherent beauty found within everyday miracles.

Marija uses high-quality eco-friendly materials, such as water-soluble oil paints (Cobra), handmade, natural artisan watercolors, and handmade cotton recycled paper (Khadi). She also explores making natural botanical inks and finding a way to re-purpose and upcycle materials to create unique and nature-friendly pieces of art.
