Marija Svetieva was born in the vibrant city of Skopje in 1960, the relentless art practitioner holds a Master's Degree in Fine Arts, that weaves her artistic journey with passion and dedication. In the year of 1987, she adorned her academic journey with a flourish, graduating from the esteemed Faculty of Fine Arts, where she embraced the enchanting realms of Graphics and Graphic Design. That very year, she joined the ranks of the Macedonian Painters Association, stepping into a world bursting with colour and creativity. In the year 1990, a scholarship unlocked the door to her dreams, leading her to the lively streets of Bologna, Italy, where she delved deep into the captivating world of graphics. In 1991, the artist elegantly stepped into the realms of creativity, joining the esteemed International Graphic Artists Association and the distinguished International Journalist Association, both nestled in the heart of Rome. Between the years of 1992 and 1996, she deftly whelmed the film production company Farfara Anstalt, weaving cinematic dreams in the heart of Rome.

      Marija used to construct a surreal realm composed of tangible data derived from her immediate environment, simultaneously mystifying reality to the extent of entering the domain of artistic recognition, for which the artist takes pleasure in the act of creation, while also transcending the feelings of loneliness and desolation, thereby justifiably bestowing upon this work the designation 'healing'.

       The creations of this artist evoke joy and revitalization, enchanting us with the delight of life and harmony that emerge from the narrative of seemingly small yet significant things. A meticulous gesture in the drawing serves as an extension and elucidation of the content of the thought, namely, the dream narrative. A powerful artistic and lyrical journey unfolds, characterized by sensitive suggestions, visualization, and poetics in conjunction with the artistic gesture.

        The artist lives and works in Skopje, Macedonia.
