Sanja Marušić (b.1991) is a Dutch-Croatian artist, based in Amsterdam, who builds otherworldly images in which collage, painting and photography collide. The artist travels extensively, capturing performances where figures – often Marušić alone in costume, sometimes accompanied by others – move through surreal landscapes. Mirrored cubes, triangle headdresses and glittery bodysuits create a space-age look and feel. Subjects navigate pink and turquoise flower fields, as if traversing the surface of a new planet, or leap through giant yellow squares, revelling in freedom and play – like completing a video game level. Some of Marušić’s stories are autobiographical, whilst others evade explanation. Folk and naïve art are wellsprings of inspiration here, influencing composition and palette. Ultimately, vivid hues are her hallmark. “By using colour, you can tell a story, but you can also focus attention,” she says. sanjamarusic.com | @sanjamarusic
