Marina’s artistic approach is deeply rooted in material exploration, particularly in her use of raw pigments. She investigates the fluidities of color and texture, embracing both traditional and experimental techniques to create works that are vibrant, tactile, and immersive. Through her exploration of natural pigments, she delves into the interplay between light, form, and the organic qualities of her materials. Her work often reflects a dialogue between control and spontaneity, structure and fluidity, capturing an evolving process of discovery. Whether in painting or sculpture, she continuously seeks new ways to engage with the physical and emotional essence of her materials, bridging the sensory and the conceptual in her evolving body of work.  

Her works are characterised as vivid, playful yet serene, and luminous. They invite touch and celebration, a direct result of her striking technique of painting in loose, expressive strokes. Working with a palette knife enables her to create smooth yet decisive and highly textured compositions. This technique allows her to balance control with spontaneity, giving her paintings a dynamic yet harmonious presence. She has developed a distinctive style through her use of raw pigments, acrylic, and oil paint, sometimes incorporating gold pigments. These materials allow her to explore contrasts—between rich and warm, earthy and scorched—giving her work a unique allure. She is continuously experimenting with innovative ways to apply these elements, pushing the boundaries of traditional painting techniques. In some of her pieces, she incorporates gold pigment and 24-carat gold leaf, which interact with light in a captivating way. As the natural light shifts throughout the day and night, the reflective golden elements in her paintings evolve with it, creating an ever-changing visual experience. This interplay of light and materiality adds an ethereal quality to her work, making each piece feel alive in its own way.

Through her exploration of raw pigments, bold textures, and light-reflective elements, Marina’s art is a celebration of both material and movement—a fusion of tradition and innovation, of intuition and refinement.
