"Creativity is about perfection and following strict rules."

  •   Maybe you think artists who create imaginative worlds never struggle with creative blocks.
  •   Maybe you believe they open a sketchbook and instantly draw a perfect, finished illustration.
  •   Maybe you've told yourself, "My sketches are just too messy."

But here's the truth: creativity isn't about perfection. What you admire in others is the result of curiosity, experimentation, and worldbuilding.

You don't need to have a perfect style to start. You just need some gentle guidance, the willingness to observe everyday life, and the courage to trust your imperfect ideas.

Let's begin building your creative worlds. You've got this.

Building illustrations full of story is a skill anyone can learn! 

Do you feel inspired by the beauty of folklore, nature, dreams, and everyday observations
Do you love the idea of designing characters but feel unsure how to move from a loose sketch to a finished piece? 
Are you a beginner or an artist who wants to overcome creative blocks and develop a personal artistic voice

Creating atmospheric worlds is not just for the “naturally perfect” — anyone can learn how to trust their ideas! 

I designed this course for anyone who wants to loosen up and play more from complete beginners to those who want to grow their skills and build a sustainable creative practice

Let’s unlock your creative potential one character at a time.

Hi, I am Marija!

I’m a Lithuania-born, Netherlands-based multidisciplinary artist working across illustration, painting, and digital art.

After studying Multimedia Design in London, I began my creative career working as a concept artist for video games and as a children’s book illustrator, while also collaborating with editorial, advertising and commercial clients on a wide range of projects and commissions.

Over the years, my work has become deeply rooted in curiosity, experimentation, and worldbuilding. I love creating strange little characters and atmospheric worlds inspired by folklore, nature, dreams and everyday observations.

For me, creativity isn’t about perfection or following strict rules. It’s about learning how to trust your ideas and build a process that feels personal and alive.
