Kaja Majoor
Kaja Majoor (1998) is a Polish-Dutch artist based in The Hague. She graduated from the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam in 2023, specialising in illustration. Alongside her work as an illustrator, Kaja is a professional violinist, having graduated from the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague in 2020. She completed the NAIP Master (New Audiences and Innovative Practice) in 2024, where she explored combining her musical and artistic skills.
Kaja's passion for art and music stems from her family background, with her mother as a composer and her father as a type designer. Inspired by her family's artistic influences, she decided to pursue both disciplines.
As a violinist, she performs with various orchestras and ensembles, including the Pelargos Quartet, which she founded. She also contributes to social initiatives such as Mimic Muziek, bringing music to hospitals, and the 'Music and Dementia' programme.
As an illustrator, Kaja works mainly for musicians. She has a particular affinity for analogue printmaking techniques like riso print, screen print, and linocut, with a focus on pattern design. One of her future goals is to combine music and illustration in a multidisciplinary approach.
