Marina Kanavaki 
Beautiful closeup. Your pictures and close ups actually provided the inspiration to my new article http://asifoscope.org/category/aesthetics/
I am honored, Nannus! And what a brilliant article it is too!!
🙂
Beautiful and simple….
Thank you for your kind comment, Mark and thanks for visiting!
🙂
PS I enjoyed visiting your blog. Exceptional work!
I really like this one Marina – even more so because for some reason only my eye/brain understands; could not see the face for ages and then click, it was there.
David.
That is an even greater compliment to me, David, thank you!
For me this is Oriental minded! Very nice….
I’m very fond of old Japanese master painters art… I admire the perfection of their lines! One single perfect stroke! Very inspiring. Thank you Ann!
Very Zen – and I know that the simplicity does not come easily – this is one for posterity Marina…
…”for posterity”?!!! Thank you, John! You are very kind!
🙂
Sooo Asian… I LOVE it!
Pink.
Thank you, Pink!!!!!
🙂
Terrific simplicity here Marina – perfectly executed! Sorry I’ve not been around recently – looking forward to seeing more of your work soon. K 🙂
Ah, thank so much you Ken and you obviously do not need to apologize! Thank you for finding time to visit! Have a beautiful day.
🙂
You too and it was my pleasure Marina – talk soon! 🙂
Good food for the eye! Lovely!
Thank you very much for this kind comment!
Lovely! This has such an Asian brush art feel to me, which I really like. I admire this style.
That is a compliment! Thank you FM!!!
🙂
Another winner Marina! Love the red accents.
Thank you, Madhu!
🙂
Would like to have your notebook… Lovely!
Ah!!! thank you Ann!!!!
🙂
You can make the simplest things look so beautiful, Marina! I love that touch of red too! 🙂
Thank you, Deb for your lovely comment!
🙂
I love it! So fresh, and I love the touch of red with the black. Did you give the character a special meaning when you created it?
I don’t usually think too much before painting. I try to “copy” the image [of the face in this case] in my brain, best I can! I’m so glad you like it! Thank you!!!!
🙂
I love the use of colors here, and red is so lovely. Beautiful work, Marina! 🙂
Thank you, Nandini for your compliment!
🙂
You are welcome! 🙂
When I just now saw this in my inbox I said, “Ooh! Another character!” 🙂 This one has a face within the face. A whole second portrait really. Very cool!
I’m so happy you like this character, Charlie! Thank you! [Yes, I know! …glad you saw it too!]

Abstracts allow us to see whatever each of us wishes to see.
Very nice …!!!
They do, don’t they?! And what’s even stranger is that when I drew those, I had a very very precise image in my mind and abstraction after abstraction… well this! Thank you Isadora.
Five stars on this. Really beautiful expressive work.
It works on multiple levels it’s a ideogram and a portrait depending on ones perception. And there is also an abstract element of story to this image.
I love this one. Looks like someone I would like to meet to hear there story. Keep up the inspired and inspiring work. 🙂
Thanks, Terry for your very kind and supportive words. It feels nice hearing them!
You too, by the way!
🙂
I’m exhilarate with your new painting!!! Cheers Nonoy Manga
Thank you, Nonoy Manga!!! 🙂
The red reveals energy emerging from the mysterious black! High impact! Many thanks.
Thank YOU, for kind your comment!
Hi Marina my identity for some mysterious reason showed ‘Anonymous’ 😦
Cheers and have a nice day.

…should have known where that kindness was coming from! Thank you very much, Dilip!
🙂
hello Marina,
we need continuous support by your soothing abstract paintings …
– because there’s too much reality around us …
…what a wonderful thing to say, Frizz! […tell me about it!] Thank you!
I have to concur on that one, and I feel so fortunate to have met both of your wonderful minds, here in mos abstract of all spaces…I am so thankful for that. I think Character #19, est un peut chique!
Likewise dear George!
Thank you for your kind presence here!
