Marina likes to combine world mythological stories with personal experiences and literary creations. She finds the fullest expression of her artistic credo in the mystical poetics of ancient civilizations, in Babylonian mysteries and Kabbalistic numerologies, the art of alchemy and the austere simplicity of Zen.
