True lover of abstract expressionists, Marine shares their idea that art is a perpetual exploration of one’s identity, a constant journey, rejuvenated time and again by the unconscious mind.
An accomplished dancer since her youth, she maintains a physical approach to her creative process. She paints on the floor, using industrial tools or pouring paint directly on the canvas, trying to find poetry amid the tension and turmoil. The rough yet flowing lines and movements are characteristic of her work.
Marine currently lives in Paris, and has recently spent many months in Iceland where she was granted a 1-year art residency as a member of the international artistic collective HEIMA.
She is exhibited on the international art platform Wondereur, curated by JR studio Director, and also co-signs published fashion series, mixing photo & art, with her partner, the photographer Renaud Cambuzat.
