About

Marina Stoponja

I work across sculpture and the fine arts, moving between marble, bronze, mixed media, and public installations. I am drawn to the character of each material and to forms that feel both familiar and quietly unexpected.

At Mountain Studio on Plešivica, I also host small ceramics workshops: intimate, hands-on sessions shaped by curiosity, the pleasure of making, and time spent together around clay.
