Biography
Marina was born and raised in Czech Republic and then spent
number of years in Germany before deciding to make her home in
Toronto.
Marina studied at OCAD and has been a practicing artist since
1993, regularly exhibiting her work in and around Toronto. Her
approach as a mature artist, coupled with her multicultural
background, provide a vast array of inspiration which reveals
itself through her spirited use of various media and techniques.
In her art Marina draws on her extensive knowledge of materials
and textures to imbue her work with the energy and experience of
urban life.
Her paintings are primarily collages comprising acrylic
mono-prints and Xerox transfers and they incorporate lushes
surface manipulation varying between pattern of pigmented wax
and/or clear wax glazing. Marina confidently employs vibrant
colour and mark-making thereby capturing a sense of wonder in a
lively visual scene.
Marina’s latest abstract discovery - the “Element” - is a
symbolic ingredient in her creative process. The Element is
pivotal in portraying the architectural and organic as well as
ornamental aspects of the painting’s composition and capturing a
vision that is uniquely hers.
Before her retirement Marina worked as industrial engraver in a
Toronto based company.
She is a member of Gallery 1313, The Scarborough Arts Council,
Visual Arts Ontario, and has had served as a Membership Director
on the Board of Gallery 1313 in the year 2005/2006.
