Vanja Vukelic (b. 1986, Bosnia and Herzegovina) is a Toronto-based artist whose work navigates the intersection of folklore, nature, and abstraction. Drawing from myth, memory, and migration, her paintings evoke the unseen forces that shape our world, exploring themes of transformation, mysticism, and interconnectedness. Her practice is deeply informed by the trauma of war and the refugee experience, while reflecting a profound reverence for the earth and its ancestral wisdom.

Working across watercolors, inks, acrylics, pastels, and earth pigments, Vukelic’s use of diverse mediums captures the fluidity and transformation inherent in her process. Her art extends beyond the canvas, etched onto the skin of women globally and collected by individuals, businesses, and brands drawn to its emotional depth and symbolic resonance.
