Maja Strgar Kurečić is a fine art photographer and a Professor of photography at the Faculty of Graphic Arts, University of Zagreb, Croatia. She also has a PhD in Engineering Sciences. She has been involved in photography for more than 25 years as a lens-based artist with a strong background and experience in commercial, advertising and photojournalism. The last few years she overcame documentary and narrative and found herself in deep analytical and philosophical fields of experimental and abstract photography. Maja uses a camera as a tool that captures inner voices, emotions, and moods without the need to interpret reality. She earned international recognition for her recent projects Other Worlds, Escape Landscapes and Floating Garden that won many international awards. She exhibited photographs on over 60 group and 20 independent exhibitions, held in country and abroad.
