Maja Planinac

Maja Planinac’s introverted nature led her to discover photography and she’s looked to the art form ever since as a safe place to explore her internal emotions to find peace and solace. Fueled by her love for the camera and her need to visualize and externalize overwhelming feelings, Maja began composing surreal images while in medical school. At the time, she was unfamiliar with Surrealism as a cultural movement but have always been fascinated by physical and mental mysteries of the human body and, thus, incorporated the form into her work. Her entire artistic approach serves as a therapeutic practice resulting in dreamy, surreal images that embody the unexplainable feelings that she experiences.
