STUNNING! ❤
Ah, thank you so much! ❤🙏❤
This is stunning, Marina! I love the complicated and simple aspects, not to mention, the red, of this piece. Hugs! ❤️❤️❤️
Ah, thank you, Lauren! Somehow I thought you’d like that red! 😉😘😘
Happy weekend, my dear friend!
❤😘❤🤗❤😘❤
Yes! Love the vibrant red! Happy weekend to you, too! ❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄
❤🧡🌲🧡❤🤗😘🤗😘🤗
What portion of this would you estimate you planned, and what portion was spontaneous?
All planned but hand has it’s own mind. The good moments are the ones when everyone coinsides. This one was one of those moments.
“Flow”, well that sounds like one of the expressions I’m learning in Qi Gong! At my age, I’ve got to stay mobile! Now even that word (mobile) has come from looking at your painting. Marina, I love it 🌹😊🙋♂️
Awww… thank you so much!!! I kniw what you mean. I’m talking anything available to keep mobile from yoga to Wim Hof, all put in a Marina blender! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
lovely asemic swirls…

Thank you, my dear 🐉 friend!!!
🙏🙏🌟🐉🌟🙏🙏
Wow! What a wonderful painting.
Ah, so happy you like it Tim! Like the gallery owner told me, the god of artists kept it from being sold. 😉
I think that god needs a change of attitude.
I think she said that because she knew that with this one and a couple others I didn’t want to part with, so she said that the god of artists keeps those from being sold. Of course… times they are changing as you say! 😉
If you don’t want to sell them the the gods are being good. It’s hard to part with your best work.
That one was my first solo and while getting ready for the opening it dawned on me that some of my paintings will no longer be with me. It’s a strange feeling. Gallery owner then said I could overprice a favorite or two but, as she predicted, they’re still with me. Nowadays I’m more accustomed with the procedure.
This are stunning Marina! Love them. xoxoxo
Awww… thank you dahling!!! 🤗❤🤗
Welcome dearest!
😘😘😘😘😘
Good one…
Like the colours….
I am a photographer (By interest) and know little on core painting…
But you now the colour selection plays a vital role and finally its the outcome of the personality.
Burgersbite
Thank you, Burgersbite! You’re right about colour. [I enjoyed visiting your blog. Beautiful shots.]
Beautiful 🙂
Thank you Ken.
my pleasure. I would have written more but my words would only have got in the way of the truth 🙂
…what a nice way to put it! Thank you …again!
now I see
affection,
gratitude,
kindness,
respect
and love
in this face!
ah, so nice to hear!
So stricking – I love this piece for its dramatic simplicity…
Thank you Suzan. I always value your opinion! [also flattered!]
Yes I agree with Fergiemoto .
It looks like ”kundalini” rises. You might notice the obstacles within.
You may indeed… Thank you, Dominique.
red is the rule…
associations for me?
riot route through Athens –
but I’m sure, that was NOT your message …
True, I believe in a quiet and personal kind of “riot”, through art. Thank you Frizz!
Color is a wonderful
way to forget!
If we let it saturate us
then we may have
the biggest treasure…
(using your own speech)
…thank you!
Had I not learned some important mind/body exercises over the past couple of years, I may have had a different interpretation. But I thought of “flow” psychology, which I was taught as being immersed in something (you enjoy) so much that you are oblivious to everything else. This can be a form of meditation, which I have found useful for me. So, I saw this painting as someone remaining focused, immersed and meditative amidst chaos. Perhaps I’m way out in left field?
Lovely art regardless! It makes you think.
“…focused, immersed and meditative amidst chaos”, my dear if I wanted to describe my work, I don’t think I could have said it any better! I’m overwhelmed by your thoughts and I agree. Thank you! [I look forward to your next meditation …outcome!]
I will be honest, this one puzzles me, Marina. That being said, I like that. 🙂 As always, there is such elegance to your work, and as long as i looked this, I could not figure out what it meant to me. Which is fascinating. There is busy in the narrow line, and then calm in the thicker line. The calm is on the bottom, but the busy is on top. Kind of like life. Even among the busy times, it’s good to be calm at your heart.
There, I figured it out. That’s what it means to me. 🙂 Love it!
Katie, I don’t know what to say! To begin with, thank you for taking the effort! I can see that! This is actually a “dialogue” between 2 faces [front: charcoal, profile: red line]. But then that’s just the description. It shouldn’t alter your view of it, should it?! [Not to mention that I like a lot & appreciate what it meant to you!]
Thanks, Marina. No I can see what you meant. 🙂 I love really thinking about abstracts and what they mean to me. It is so much fun! Love your work!
Keep seeing the way you do, Katie. You have a great eye. I’m sure I’ve told you before and don’t mind if I repeat myself! Thank YOU Katie.
Love it.
Thank you, Bones!
