"Hi, I'm Marina from Bahia. I began to paint in 2005 along with my husband, who is a fine artist. Actually, I've enjoyed painting ever since I was a child, it is only recently that I have devoted more time to it.
"Bahia offers a well of inspiration with its traditional dances and rhythms and its culinary art, the best in the country! I lived in Porto Seguro for some years, a cozy, paradisiacal and happy place.
"Now I live in Rio and I'm inspired by African culture, of which I am a descendant. I try to highlight my roots through my work. I'm also inspired by the
favelas on the outskirts of Rio.
"I love to paint, especially because I get to work alongside my husband, who helps me and has also taught me to paint.
"I really love Brazil, I find there are many things to be explored in my country's culture and art.
"I hope you like my work and feel happy when you see it. I hope you like the colors and themes, because I want to show you the good side of
carioca favelas and the Afro-Brazilian culture."
