Longing - Original

Longing - Original 

Wherever the weather takes us, Marina's paintings are a journey that most can't wait to explore, from the cooling tides at the beach, somewhere familiar but never frequented; to the helm of a boat to sail the shores. Breathe in and smell the salt water with this new collection of Originals which are stunning. Painted in oil and acrylic each add a contemporary edge to a much loved view.Marina's 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
