Maša Travljanin (b. 1993) is a Bosnian-Slovenian artist whose work occupies participatory and socio-political contexts, with "connection" as the primary objective. Her work is rarely static; it exists as a continuous process surrendered to the perpetual flux of life. She draws inspiration from rituals and traditions, reconceiving them into a contemporary format.
Using a range of mediums, she creates site-specific interventions, paintings and drawings. Soil remains a recurring material in her practice as a medium of equalisation and physical connection. It is always borrowed and returned.
She began her artistic education in Ljubljana (2013) before continuing in London, where she obtained a Fine Arts Diploma (2019) and a Bachelor of Arts degree (2020). After completing a pre-master's year at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp (2023), she is now preparing for the upcoming Master’s program at Sint Lucas Antwerp in September (2026).
