Maria Atanacković is the founder of Maluda—an Irish art and design studio where creativity, design, and a bit of playfulness come together. Maria is a visual artist and printmaker. As a member of Graphic Studio Dublin, her work is all about exploring the connections between objects, space, and people. She finds inspiration by the idea of belonging, co-existence, and how people interact with the world.

Through her bold, abstract visuals, she creates vibrant art, reimagining the spaces and moments around us.

Winner of Fingal’s Studio Award 2025, Maria has moved into a studio in Ardgillan Castle and made it her own. You can visit Maria on the first floor of the castle in her bright and colourful studio.
