Ana-Marija Kralj who works under the name Merien King is a young Croatian artist of peculiar and untypical expression. This primarily applies to the material that she works with - metal. Working with such material requires endurance and patience and knowledge about the material itself. There is also a need for curiosity and adventure, because the final appearance of the artwork is unpredictable. The process is exactly what the artist herself emphasizes as the most important part of her work. Each artwork is the ultimate result of the dynamics of her own movements in symbiosis with the material. 
​​
Ana-Marija Kralj started her professional art career in the fashion industry and in the course of studying at the Faculty of Textile Technology  in Zagreb in 2013, she founded the brand Kralj & Krajina in partnership with her colleague Mirjam Krajina. For a year she worked as a designer in the famous Xenia design studio. From 2016 she designs luxury furniture and creates metal art under her own brand name Merien King.
