About Artist
Marina Shipova
My work originates from the tradition of Classic Portrait painting. Such style has been a signature of my art for some years. My passion for art and Illustration grew from my childhood interest in visual stories, and an (over) active imagination. My pursuit of art education spans my entire life. Art studies have brought into focus an acute attention to form (and style) associated with classical techniques. Classic art has always been the anchor and core of my artistic journey. I am a classically trained artist, but I see myself more as an explorer, especially when it comes to different medias, techniques, styles, themes, and artistic pathways. Digital Photography is a relatively new and exciting territory for me where I still stumble through winding trails, always excited about each new discovery. I find myself in a world where the digital canvas is infinitely flexible, a conduit for limitless possibilities, upended in multiple dimensions and unified by apps and technologies. That new digital reality is my canvas, allowing me to create my very own visual and conceptual world emerging through the intersection between painting, photography and computer graphics. Digital photography is a revenue of self-expression for me. I form images to identify with hidden qualities within myself, to communicate with reality, and to translate the interpretation of the world around me into visual linguistics. My goal is to use my camera as a painting tool, to paint new uncharted worlds, as a place of self-discovery, and most importantly, the grounds for telling new (untold) stories.
