Hi! Welcome to my
story
My name is Sandra and unfortunatelly no one had invented a nickname for me that stuck, except maybe Sanky which was given to me by my best friend, one summer night in my favourite restaurant in Šibenik and it means sledge. (The story is long and weird but if you'd like to know, I am happy to tell.) I'm a book lover and an artist with an imagination who loves to explore. Through my artwork, I strive to create stories that are full of emotion and life. I specialize in paintings inspired by folk tales, dark fairytales, and fantasy. Reading is a fuel to my art, an immersive experience that opens doors to innumerable universes in time and space. I love to read to rekindle my imagination, to explore different minds, and see different points of view. I believe that there is a story behind everything.
Do you know the feeling of geting lost inside a story so intensely that your sense of reality fades away and you are submerged in the unseen world of your own imagination? Such a world is full of magnificent images, senses, emotions, and delicious smells that your mind creates for you. This is my playground. It is a place where everything is possible!
As children, our imagination was our home, however as we grow older we are discouraged from daydreaming and fantasy, but what we create inside behind out closed eyes is no less real than our morning cup of coffee. By creating fantastical worlds as children we learned how to navigate in life. And this resource is still here for us, to aid us in our grown-up lives, to help us through our good and bad times.

"People need stories more than bread itself, they teach us how to live and why."

My art
Through my university studies as a linguistic major, I have learned a lot about how we communicate, how we express our thoughts not only by means of words. This led me through the intricacies of human language and how we strive to make sense and meaning, and how it can change with time and space.
My artwork is a reflection of the world around and inside. I take time to make sure each piece is unique and captures a special moment. There will never be two identical paintings as there are never two identical moments. I invite you to explore my portfolio and take a journey through my painted stories.
My favourite form of artistic expresion is oil paint on huge canvas. I love to put on headphones with good music and let myself get lost in colours. I am learning abstract painting and on occasion I do tatto designs. Eventhough I myself have no tattoos, I see skin also as a canvas and when done delicately and with thought, tattoos adorning the body can be beautiful and meaningful addition.
"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it."
Oscar Wilde

I'm a little bit of everything
It was forever dificult to intoduce myself, because I was never interested in one specific niche, there were always miriad things that drew my attention. I am a breakfast queen who loves to change a tyre. There will be always at least one book in my bag and milion lipsticks. I love fast cars but ther has to be a dog in it. I celebrate Samhain and give thanks to my ancestors. Hence, autum is my favourite season but I am extatic when the snow and Chrismas comes. My favourite thing about people is their subconscious. I'm introvert and probably see the world through details.
I drink copious amounts of tea and wind down whith yoga and believe in balance.
