About me

Tamara Mladenovic is a versatile artist from Serbia, who divides her creative time between Belgrade and Athens.  Tamara is combining in her work all branches of art that she has studied and researched throughout her life. From traditional oil paintings, Batik, and painting on silk to the movements of Indonesian traditional dances, she creates a rich, multifaceted body of work that showcases her deep appreciation and understanding of these varied art forms.

Somewhere in the midst of her academic studies, Tamara's interest in the art and paintings of Asia began to flourish. She found herself particularly drawn to Indonesian art and culture, captivated by its music, costumes, dance, and Batik techniques. These elements have significantly influenced and enriched her artistic style.

As a painter, she has showcased her work in numerous exhibitions both in Serbia and internationally. In addition to visual arts, Tamara is a member of the Association of Professional Ballet Dancers, Choreographers, and Ballet Pedagogues of Serbia. Each year, she creates the silver medallion "Terpsichore" for the National Theater in Belgrade, awarded annually to the best ballet dancer.

The art of decorating cloth

Batik is a centuries-old Indonesian technique that transforms fabric into art through a long, careful process.

It begins with choosing the right fabric, then drawing the design by hand. Hot wax is applied to preserve the pattern, and the fabric is dyed—sometimes multiple times, with more waxing in between to build rich layers of colour.

Removing the wax is one of the most labour-intensive steps, requiring heat, time, and effort. In some pieces, you may notice small traces of wax left behind—a natural part of the authentic, handmade process.
Finally, each piece is sewn and finished with care.

Batik is not fast, and it’s not easy—but that’s exactly what makes it special and valuable.
It’s a handmade tradition, meant to be worn, loved, and to last with proper care.

Children drawings

turned into jewellery

Like a painter and like a new mom, I know how much painting is important, not just
in our grown-up world, but it is also important in the children's world.

Observing my child, I have come to realize that everything that she paints I want to turn into something.

Then I realized that I could make jewelry from children's drawings and to wear them.

And that is how I started.
