Tanja Prezelj

I am a visual artist based in Slovenia.

I experience my inner world as something vivid, layered, and constantly moving. Painting is the way I stay in relationship with it, a way to listen, to follow, and to give it form.

My path has grown through years of creating, alongside guiding others in their own creative process through mandala workshops. These spaces have deepened how I perceive. I do not just see images, I sense shifts, tensions, openings, the moment something inside begins to take shape.

When I paint, I do not begin with a fixed idea. I enter the process and let the image reveal itself. There is always a point where something unexpected appears, something more precise than anything I could have planned.

Mandalas, organic structures, and symbolic forms often emerge in my work. They allow complexity to exist without needing to resolve it. Different layers can live together - the visible and the subtle, the personal and something much wider.

Nature is a quiet reference in everything I do. The way things grow, unfold, break, and return into balance lives somewhere in my process. It keeps me grounded, even when I move through more intangible spaces.

Each painting carries a presence. A kind of recognition. Something you do not need to explain, but you know when it is there.
