ABOUT
MARINA STRIJAKOVA
Love
of animals and plants inspired Marina Strijakova, a mother-of-three, to start
her career as a biologist in Russia, but since arriving in Australia, she is
transitioning her love of nature into art.
Marina
grew to love nature from an early age, pursued that as an animal keeper in
Moscow Zoo and later became a biologist. "In the Russian forest, I knew all the
birds and animals and knew the names of all plants."
Having
immigrated to Australia in 1999, Marina dipped into the unusual and unique
flora and fauna of Australia. Her dedication to animal and plant worlds opened
up a new perspective in Marina's mind. She began attending a series of
workshops in art education, ranging from Chinese painting, collage, acrylics,
painting realism in oils and mixed media.
As
a result, Marina found her new passion expressing herself in oil paintings and
her unique controlled acrylic color flow style.
She
said: In my landscape, nature and nature-themed abstract works, I reflect on
the beauty of the world around us. While I know that many artists focus on
nature as their subject, I bring a different and thus outstanding perspective.
Her
collection of paintings are predominantly commissioned in larger formats. A
variety of medium,including impasto, modeling paste, heavy gel and gesso is
used to add a texture to the paintings. Ink, acrylic and oil paints add the
colors and shades,multi-layered to add a feeling of depth.
She
added: I use my private recipes to create my own paint and medium, I fabricate
custom brushes for specific stroke and texture effects.
"My
purpose in life is to take the basic ingredients of canvas, medium and paint,
add a recipe of my own imagination and turn the original material things into a
piece of art with emotional and aesthetic value."
