Hi there!I am Marina - your painting guide!
I am so happy that you came to visit me here on my website and I would love to connect with you! A bit about me: I am a Dutch professional artist, living in the South of France with my family and lovely dog Tessa. I am passionate about painting with cold wax, whether it is with oils or acrylics.. My whole creative process changed the day that I discovered the medium and so will yours!
My studio is surrounded by olive trees and lavender bushes and has a wonderful view! My inspiration comes from old crumbled walls and weathered shutters which I translate into my own unique painting process. I love to give my figurative paintings a sort of abstract but dreamy vibe by leaving out the details and leave room for the viewer to make his own a story. Whether you are here for my art or my online classes, I hope you enjoy looking around on my website!

My art is based on the beautiful philosophy of Wabi-Sabi. Wabi means simplicity and elegant and Sabi the beauty of age and wear. My paintings are carefully built up layer by layer, showing imperfections and allowing history to shine through. They will enhance your walls in a beautiful way giving your home a touch of romance and a more peaceful and authentic sense of being at home.
