About Tanja B. 🐝
Hi, I’m Tanja B. and welcome to my artistry!
Here, I express my passion for nature, freedom, and exploration. When I paint, I also love to include themes of magic, mysticism, and self-improvement. My goal is to inspire and encourage you to prioritize your mental well-being and chase your dreams—big or small.
Art has always been a part of who I am, but six years ago, I turned my lifelong passion into a full-time profession. It’s been an incredible journey, and I’m excited to share it with you.

The Artistry
For me, artistry isn’t just a practice —it’s a place. It’s my imaginarium, my alchemist’s kitchen, a sanctuary where creativity takes root and stories come to life. For over a decade, my artistry was on wheels. I spent years backpacking and living in a van, letting the road guide me to new places, experiences, and inspiration. My van was my studio, my home, and my creative haven—a place where I could connect with the world and its endless stories.
But over time, I felt drawn to linger in one place longer, to embrace stillness, and to let the quiet speak. Now, my apartment has become my artistry. It hosts a collection of treasures gathered from my travels, trinkets stumbled upon by chance, and objects I fell in love with at flea markets. Each piece carries a story, a memory, or a meaning, and they surround me as a constant source of inspiration. They are a physical manifestation of a vibrant life, and I like to keep changing and evolving the space, because I believe that what we choose to surround ourselves with is carried deeply within us. When we live in a space that opens us to growth and gives us peace, comfort, and joy, its energy touches every aspect of our being.
So my apartment isn’t just where I live and work; it’s where my art begins. It’s a reflection of what I aim to bring into my work: a world of connection, wonder, and symbolism that encourages us to grow and elevate together.
My Tools
Each of my pieces is created digitally, using my iPad 2nd Gen and MacBook with tools like Procreate and Photoshop. These programs allow me to experiment freely, and I often spend hours refining every detail to bring a piece to life.
If I’m honest, my creative process can get a bit messy. What starts as a simple sketch may evolve into something entirely different by the end, as I continuously build, adjust, and transform along the way. When I’m uncertain about colors, I turn to Lightroom and my custom filters to fine-tune the palette, helping me find just the right balance.
For a long time, I felt self-conscious about not being able to visualize a complete illustration before I began, unlike some other artists. But I’ve come to embrace the way my creativity works. I actually love that when I start a piece, I don’t always know where the journey will take me. Sometimes, even the meaning of the work changes as I create, which I think is a way my higher nature is taking over. I like to hold space for spirit while creating, and I do so by following my intuition every part of the way.
This organic and intuitive approach is what makes each artwork an adventure, both for me and hopefully also for those who view it!
Lake Constance
My artistry is situated at the foot of the Alps, by the largest lake in Constance, in a region shaped by ancient volcanoes and rich with local folklore. This is a place that has inspired painters, poets, and writers for centuries, and now it inspires me every day. It’s here, in this magical and storied landscape, that I’ve found the perfect balance between exploration and home—a place where I can immerse myself in creativity and invite you into my world.
