Hi, I’m Marina 👋🏼 — a multidisciplinary artist whose upbringing, (growing) skillsets and fascination with craft has made me the creative I am today.
With a strong background in visual arts, I express story telling through a variety of platforms, including art direction, photography, design and fine arts.
Current obsessions include 3D design / modeling, bulgarian split squats, CineStill 800T film, and rug tufting.
Chronic obsessions include Schiele, Klimt, 2D and stop motion animation, copic markers, color theory, and expression through cartoon.
