Style and
Inspiration
Marina's initial passion was for realistic paintings in
oil. Her work over the years ranges from 'the Old Masters' portraits to
contemporary expressionism and /or semi abstracts. She is fascinated by the wild,unspoilt nature of
the Emirates but as a true Mediterranean she captures the universal beauty of her home country. Her work is characterized by strong tonal
variations and constantly challenges her own talent by trying to experiment with
subject matters and techniques for new creative effects.
Her latest work is 'boat' scenes painted in a warm
expressionistic style, titles of which are inspired by the famous Greek poets Seferis
and Elitis.
Marina spends her time between England, Cyprus and Dubai.She
is an instructor at the Dubai community Theatre and Arts Centre and is a member
of the arts advisory committee. Her work and inspirations can be viewed online.
