Marina Emphietzi

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

With the sound of crashing sea waves and the hot feeling of sand under bare feet, Emphietzi’s story starts in Famagusta, Cyprus. Emphietzi’s work explores issues of time, life and memory. She creates paintings with a vivid colour palette, many textures, robust energy and a playful style. Her paintings have playful textures and a distinct approach. They bring to surface lost memories of being near water, the sound of rumbling waves, the feeling of a warm breeze across skin. A metaphor of the transient human experience, her artwork suggests we flow through the journey of life, ever-changing and free. Her work is characterized by strong tonal variations and constantly challenges her own talent by trying to experiment with subject matters and techniques for new creative effects.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The ocean and its waters, full of life and possibility, are a part of Marina’s most joyful memories. They are from which she draws inspiration from in her work and why her pieces have the power to evoke strong feelings of nostalgia and freedom. A world traveller, Marina has called many places home. The man-made beaches of Dubai, the crowded markets of Ethiopia, and now, the grey skies of London, U.K., each brings their own colour palette to Marina’s current work. Created with robust energy, her paintings have playful textures and a distinct style. They bring to surface memories of being near water and the warm breeze across skin. A metaphor of the transient human experience, her artwork suggests we flow through the journey of life, ever-changing and free.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

‘Harbour at night’ Metaphorically exploring the passage of time through abstract seascapes, ‘The High Tides of Time’ collection suggests a focus on moments of intensity within our temporal journey. The sea itself is often seen as a symbol of time’s inexorable movement, with its constant ebb and flow mirroring the passage of days and years. This painting represents a different aspect or stage of time, from the tranquil calmness of dawn to the tumultuous storms of life’s challenges. (Marina-Emphietzi)

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Metaphorically exploring the passage of time through this abstract seascape ‘between the tides’ which suggests a focus on moments of intensity within our temporal journey. The sea itself is often seen as a symbol of time’s inexorable movement, with its constant ebb and flow mirroring the passage of days and years. It represents a different aspect or stage of time, from the tranquil calmness of dawn to the tumultuous storms of life’s challenges. The changing colours of the sky and sea, the shifting shapes of clouds and waves, all are symbols of the ever-changing nature of time. (Marina-Emphietzi)

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

“My artworks are mostly inspired by the sea and the marine environment and are rich in texture and colour. I use strong tonal forms and a vivid colour palette. My personal challenge is for my art to evoke deep emotions and a powerful energy; my paintings also tell a story. They suggest a metaphor of the human experience as we experience our journey through life. Time, happiness, sadness, memories, nostalgia, even’ nostos’ (Greek word for homecoming) , are all linked to it. The movement of water with its shapes, patterns and colours that swirl into and out of each other create fascinating abstract imagery.” (Marina Emphietzi-Harris)
