About
Maja Djordjevic’s faux-naïf, doodle-like figurative paintings explore the language of computer art on a grand scale. Djordjevic has become widely known for her pixelated renderings, which reference the simplistic visual style of Microsoft Paint and engage with net art aesthetics. These paintings grew from sketches she made in MS Paint as a student at the University of Arts in Belgrade, where she received both her bachelor’s and master’s degree. She has exhibited widely in Serbia, including at the Museum of Contemporary Art Vojvodina. Executed with oil and enamel paint, her images often feature nude characters navigating whimsical, wildly colored and often absurd scenarios that evoke the chaos of the internet. Djordjevic also produces sculptures that further extend her screen-inspired characters into the real world.
