Hello, I'm Marina K.

Marina Koutsospyrou is an award-winning artist based in Greece​,​ whose paintings have been exhibited nationally. She was accepted to Athens School of Fine Arts in 1995 and she graduated in 2001 with honors. Marina says＜:＜All my works are oils on canvas​,​ depicting figures of figurative painting integrated into space and bearing several messages within symbolic places. I am trying to get the viewer to feel​,​ read the symbols and their meaning perhaps reflect. Pictures with a lot of emotions​,​ memories​,​ dressing up the dream with the real. Also I love to paint the correlation between light and shade with chromatic qualities. I invite you to share my own perspective of things through my creations. My inspiration to take on everything that can mobilize me to create such as travel pictures​,​ the hero of people. The truth of each artwork is important. A truth that emerges from a deep inner path＞＞.."Developing a unique visual writing that is full of rich narrative and emotion​,​ the painter Marina Koutsospyrou could certainly be described as one of the most dynamic -and hardworking- female vοices that the modern Greek visual art has to show. Studying all her work from her early years until today​,​ one can easily find out that Koutsospyrou does not hesitate to express herself​,​ experiment and feely deal with the topics she finds interesting every time​,​ abstaining from adhering to successful stereotypes and tricks. On the contrary​,​ her work is characterized by a rich - in terms of topics but also technical performance - approach that embraces and unites the familiar realism of reality with the abstract and often overwhelming invasion of imagination and dream within it. Human beings​,​ men​,​ women​,​ children​,​ all placed in the environments they belong to​,​ in urban or natural environments​,​ in environments made of myth and history​,​ surrealism or even romance​,​ become the protagonists of an imaginative painting troupe which leaves you in the end with a gentle sense like a caress of another time that we keep inside us​,​ deeply precious as nostalgia."
