Boat In Storm - Original

Boat In Storm - Original 

A stunning new oversize Original painting from Marina Emphietzi. Marina is an artist who enjoys teaching and celebrates the movement of her images with her vibrant use of colours. Marina's art dances on the wall, even when the subject matter is still and calm.

My work explores issues of time, life and memory.

Through painting I channel life experiences to create works of art.I grew up in a house by the sea in Famagusta, Cyprus, a home I lost in the trauma of war, and, although I didn’t set out to produce art about anything specific, as my portfolio developed over the years I realised that the pleasure and energy I was getting from painting was when I focused on water, boats, beaches, marinas, wet stones and rocks, subjects emanating from childhood memories of my early life by the sea. Using strong tonal forms and a vivid colour palette my paintings are visual representations of conversations and inner feelings. Infused in time and space they act as a reminder of what has happened in the past. These moments become pathways for understanding the connections we share as humans with each other and with the natural world that surrounds us.
