Artist Statement

Marina Imar works at the intersection of painting and object, creating works that extend beyond the traditional perception of a canvas. Her pieces function not only as images, but as art objects that interact with the viewer and the surrounding space. Her practice is based on transforming everyday imagery into a distinct visual language. Through form, color, and line, she explores how perception shifts: the human figure becomes part of a system, movement turns into rhythm, and space becomes an active element within the composition. Imar works in series, each developing a specific idea and forming its own internal structure. These include Avant-garde Cats, Sport, Musicians, Saint Petersburg, and Geometry Series. Her works have been presented in over 50 exhibitions and projects and are held in private collections across Europe and beyond. She is interested in creating art that goes beyond decoration, engaging the viewer and sustaining attention through visual tension and interaction.
