Bio

Marina Zotova is a self-taught Russian artist who is passionate about creativity and ready to paint day and night. 

She devotes a lot of time to painting. Puts a piece of herself into every canvas and every brushstroke. 

“I ”feel” each of my artwork and “see” the future picture – only by picking up a blank canvas and looking at it.

My passion is love for nature. My landscapes convey not only sunny and positive emotions. Sometimes it is sadness during a cloudy day, and sometimes it is a threat before a thunderstorm. But I love nature as it is – different, in different colors and moods, and in different weather. In any of its performances – it is perfect” – says Marina .
