I am Marina, photographer and visual artist based in Barcelona (El Masnou)
Photography is not only a passion or a job, it’s a way of discovering the world around me and myself, a way of talking with people and about them.
I have been working in the audiovisual sector for more than 9 years, and I am an experienced video editor. Originally, I am from Ukraine. For some years, I used to live in St. Petersburg, learning cinema direction, and several years ago, I moved to Barcelona.
I started doing photography in 2023, and since then it has captivated me completely. Recently, I started exploring the world of AI tools, and now I actively use this creative tool in my practice.
To read my Artist Statement
During my education in Visual Art, we learned to speak in our own voice, shaping our visual style. As a kind of manifesto, this statement appeared from within me. Over time, I’m adjusting it, as my vision slightly changes too. But the mission stays the same: through my art, I want to create a space for reflection — to invite others to experience, to feel, to think.
