Marina Emphietzi
Gallery Room 3 – Over £2000
As a neo-expressionist mixed media artist, I seek to create uniquely engaging artworks in a semi-abstract style mostly inspired by the sea and the marine environment.
I grew up in a house by the sea in Famagusta, Cyprus, a home I lost in the trauma of war. Although I didn’t set out to produce art about anything specific, as my portfolio developed over the years, I realised that the greatest pleasure and energy I was getting from painting was when I focused on water, boats, beaches and marinas. My artworks also tell a story. They suggest a metaphor of the human experience as we journey through life.
