About the artist

Marina Sánchez was born in Bogotá, Colombia. She studied painting at the Scuola Civica San Elembardo, as well as in the studio of Aldo Damioli, and with the landscape painter Angelo Minutelli in Milan, Italy.

After working and exhibiting in Italy, Marina moved to New York where she developed artistic projects in her studio. She participated in several solo and group exhibitions.

She currently works in her studio in Bogotá.

The artist Marina Sánchez found inspiration in nature, a subject that has interested her since the beginning of her artistic life, when she lived in Europe. During the first stage of her career, she captured the essence of southern Europe with color, movement, and texture. These characteristics, along with nature as a central theme, persist in her current work.

“For me, it would be difficult to imagine the world in shades of gray. Color is essential. It signifies vitality, it is animation. It brings a dimension of power and solidity. Color is pure magic.

I want to open a space for reflection in the viewer. To offer them a moment for quiet contemplation beyond the difficulties that surround us, despite the inevitable hordes of conflicts, wars, and inequalities.

I use acrylic on canvas and paper.”
