Marie Kraus

Place of Birth : Slovakia

Marie Kraus was born in Ostrava, surrounded by the architecture of Socialist Realism, also known as Sorela. Having spent part of her childhood in a small village in northern Slovakia, she discovered that, despite being a city girl, she was totally fascinated by the nature she was lucky enough to observe.

Nature remains her main source of inspiration, as do her two beautiful daughters.

Marie loves to explore and play with new techniques, but classical painting and digital illustration are her favorites.

Marie became a tattoo artist in 2005, but has also worked as a freelance illustrator for almost ten years.

Her artistic work has enabled her to contribute to numerous projects. Last year, Marie completed her first literary collaboration, illustrating the book L’architecture sous toutes ses formes. Perhaps the reason this project is so close to her heart is that it perfectly combines her two true passions: books and drawing.
