About me
marina Ben Zvi (marinabenzvi)
- Biography
I have grown in Russia in the period of changes of 90th years. At those times it was impossible to define who is right and who is left. Since then I divide people into people of extreme views and liberal people. I personally tend more to the liberal attitude.
My works focus on the meeting point of sensations, emotions, and ideas.
My creativity is guided by the intellectual patterns that envelope my sensations – a generalization that extends from those sensations.
I look at my intimate experiences from the outside, and translate them into a visual language based on conceptual insights.
The paintings contain imaginary objects. Each object implies the possibility of transforming into a symbol, a metaphor – when looked at from another angle, in a different way. The visual tools allow me to perceive in ways that are not possible in reality. The paintings do not contain many images. I deliberately limit the number of objects in a painting, seeking to discover depth.
My works hinge on the tangible, creating weight solidity and volume. Each work does not only reflect objects – it is an object in and of itself.
has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.
