Artist Crush: Maja Ruznic

Thursday, April 5, 2012 · 4 Comments

Maja Ruznic via New American Paintings #97. Maja was born in Bosnia but emigrated to the US and currently lives in San Francisco. I have a massive crush on Maja’s portraits.

“The figures in my small works on paper are Anti-Heroes, characters I have created based on my interest in those who live along the interstices of society—homeless, drug addicts, prostitutes, derelicts and vagabonds—individuals whose psychological state reminds me of my immigrant experience.”
