Hello! thank you for visiting! I am Marija and this blog is dedicated to my fascination with Oriental culture and arts. It mostly consists of my paintings and ceramic images, dance and travel experience. Some of them are created while living in China for two years and learning Chinese language, traditional painting and calligraphy. I am also creating dance inspired by Chinese and Japanese music. I have stayed and traveled some time in Japan, too. However, some paintings may represent also Northern and Eastern Europe culture and influences, where I come from.

Writing calligraphy of some song lyrics:

A Story about the Flower

I want to share here a story about my flower. I am keeping it for more than a month by now. It inspired me to paint a portrait of it and a short inscription in Chinese characters, which says: “Mary started to keep a flower at her home. In two weeks’ time it had more and more blossoms. Mary was so happy about it. But her thoughts weren’t peaceful. – “My dear flower… How long can you keep me company?” – Flower’s life is short. “Can’t do anything, stay as long as you wish.””

Autumn painting

“All of the vain gold cannot stop the cold; trail of the wind is the transparent reality”

Autumn： yellow and red leaves time!

I have spent a wonderful time in such a nice scenery in a park, making video of a dance. Saying goodbye to golden leaves, which stayed with us all this year and now dissappear with the wind and rain.

The dance can be viewed here：
