About Marina

I am a self-taught, Nelson-based fine art photographer with the soul of a painter, a lover of the Dutch Golden Age, and someone who can lose themselves for hours in the quiet reverence of a gallery. I do not paint with brushes but with light—capturing the delicate interplay of illumination and shadow to tell stories that words often cannot.

My passion for nature, particularly flowers, is the heartbeat of my creative journey. I find endless inspiration in the fleeting beauty of petals, the quiet wisdom they hold, and the way they mirror the impermanence of life itself. My work embodies contrast—soft yet powerful, romantic yet bold, vibrant yet deeply emotive. I embrace both light and shadow, weaving them into my art with intention and heart.

Words and poetry shape my vision just as much as the images I create. I am captivated by the stories flowers whisper, the emotions they stir, and the connections they forge with memory, love, and the passage of time. Each piece I create is an offering of gratitude—a reflection of the beauty I see and the inspiration I hope to share.

Through my art, I seek to create, inspire, and serve. I offer moments of stillness, invitations to pause, and reminders of life’s delicate wonders. I strive to help others see the world with greater depth, color, and appreciation. My work is instantly recognizable for its unique still-life compositions, softness, romance, and luminous contrasts—echoing the essence of who I am.
