I am the granddaughter of a renowned artist living in Germany, and I have been fortunate to inherit a rare and traditional technique of applying oil to canvas. This technique, passed down through generations in my family, allows me to create works that feature deep plots and the untouched beauty of nature—an increasingly rare subject in our modern, urbanized world.
Growing up in an artistic family with deep religious foundations, I spent countless hours by my grandfather's side, observing his meticulous process. I learned how a single dot of oil paint could transform the perception of a character or the shadow of a tree on canvas. These early experiences have profoundly shaped my artistic journey.
My work bridges the gap between the old masters and contemporary art, combining the traditions of the European school of painting with modern approaches to techniques and materials. My background in interior design enriches my perspective, enabling me to approach the artistic process from the vantage point of the object-spatial environment.
Inspired by the Dutch and English schools as well as the late French Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, my art is characterized by color painting with complex nuances and emotionally charged brush strokes. My landscapes reflect the healing power of nature and the passage of time, often using golden ocher tones and complex complementary shades to evoke warmth, protection, and calm. These pieces are imbued with fantasies and dreams, depicting a blissful and beautiful world.

ABOUT
MARIKA
In my portraits, I delve into the inner universe of the soul, often through the lens of past years, where the expressiveness of the brushstroke takes precedence over color. My genre scenes capture everyday moments, emphasizing the coexistence of the human and the divine, and the fluidity of life.
At the heart of my art is a quest to evoke a sense of transition from the material to the sacred, inviting viewers to find harmony and peace in the spiritual realm. This meditative process not only offers a sense of beauty but also imbues each piece with deeper meaning.
I participate in European exhibitions, and my works are held in private collections around the world. Through my art, I seek to keep alive the invaluable family traditions and skills passed down to me, offering a touch of timeless beauty in today's fast-paced consumer culture.
