Sanja Marušić’s technique originates from photography with a shift towards painting and collage techniques, resulting in mixed media art. Folk and naive art, and their intricate blend of cultural identity, simplicity and craftsmanship are a source of inspiration for Marušić’s body of work, influencing her color palette, composition and intuitive approach.
Through photography, she captures miniature performances in which a human figure (often Marušić herself in her own costumes), sometimes accompanied by someone else, mysteriously moves through a surreal landscape. The stories she creates often stem from her personal life, but the artist manipulates her images, making the landscape and the moment itself more abstract, giving rise to a new world. She employs this surreal world as a form of escapism for both herself and the viewer.
