Maria Marinou bridges classical traditions and contemporary abstraction. She creates vibrant oil paintings that reinterpret overlooked museum fragments, from statue pieces to prehistoric figurines. Drawing inspiration from Renaissance masters and ancient artifacts, her series Timeless Fragments blends Mediterranean and Middle Eastern mythologies, weaving cultural narratives through bold modern colour and layered imagery. Marinou holds a BFA/MFA from Athens School of Fine Arts and an MA in Cultural Materials; her interdisciplinary practice draws from art history and archaeology, inviting fresh engagement with the past through dynamic, research-led painting.
