Leaf Art by Marija Micic

Marija Micic was born in a small town of Loznica, Serbia in 1990.

She settled to USA in 2017 and currently lives in Largo, FL.

In early childhood she started to draw and paint. In 2013 the eye of the artist stopped over the windblown leaves, unusually fragile and vulnerable, and yet so beautiful in her golden-brownish colors, unique shapes and unusual textures. By itself, imposed a thought to those dried-out leaves of autumn could breathe new life that, perhaps, one such sheet, covered with a network of lines and colors, could be transformed into artistic thumbnail. It was inevitable that experiment with new materials also means adventure with an uncertain ending, whether a dried leaf, which so resembles parchment, will be able to receive any color, as it will be stable, will cause cracking, crumbling and lightweight, but quite some power, any images, any substrate on which it is made? Patiently, with great caution, prepared the surface, revealing the way to this or that colored pigment remains on the leaf and then, after numerous attempts, at this wondrous medium started to emerge fragments of Marija's world. Every leaf is comparing current and eternal life as represented human soul at the end of its existence on earth and entering eternity.

She had five solo and a couple of group exhibitions in Serbia between 2015 to 2017.
