Sanja Marušić (1991) is a Dutch-Croatian artist based in Amsterdam. She studied photography at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague (KABK), and in 2013 she graduated with an Honorable Mention.
Marušić travels the world to create otherworldly images. Her practice emanates from photography and diverts to painting and collage techniques, resulting in mixed media art. Through photography she captures miniature performances in which a human figure (usually Marušić herself in self-made costumes), sometimes accompanied by another, uncannily moving through a surreal landscape. The stories she creates often find their genesis in her personal life. She manipulates her images so the landscape and the moment itself becomes more abstract, creating a surreal new world, using it as a kind of escapism for herself and the viewer.
