I'm interested in the simultaneous 2D and 3D qualities of polyhedra forms: when photographed, the shapes become flattened like line drawings, points of connection that stretch and change along with the camera's vantage. I've made woodcuts, tattoos, and collages that celebrate this shifting, flattening phenomenon. These paintings begin from this premise and depart by getting close and paying attention — indicating the subtle dimensionality and reflected light of the round stock material within these flattened two dimensional views, especially the compositions that are magnified and cropped.

As a welding, painting, fabricating, and tattooing artist, Marina's work is a constant manipulation of the physical: metal, paint, ink, and bodies. Plato’s inquiries into the timeless perfection of imagined geometric shapes, and into how geometries might lie behind all nature, inspire her to make objects that (though necessarily imperfect because they will never have perfect straight edges, and must eventually erode) tease our minds toward the perfect. The objects she makes — always imperfectly embodying perfection — ask viewers to drift within that gap between the non-physical, conceptual realm and our tangible, sensory experience.
Marina is the recipient of the 2024 Etcheve Rising Star Fellowship and has exhibited work nationally and in Germany, including the Maryland Federation of Art, NRM Gallery, Sleep Center (New York, NY), Infinite Balcony (Brooklyn, NY), Sidestreet Arts, ADX, Past Lives, Blind Insect (Portland, OR), Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, Echo Park Art Gallery, bG Gallery, and TAG Gallery (Los Angeles, CA). She holds degrees in Fine Arts and Philosophy from Parsons School of Design and Eugene Lang College in New York. She studied sculpture with Katja Strunz on a scholarship to Universität der Künste Berlin. She is currently fabricating museum exhibition displays and making ideas physical through paintings in Los Angeles.
