Cravate fossile 3 (2015) Sculpture by Marina Argentini

Marina Argentini is a painter and sculptor from Tarquinia, her hometown in Italy, where her passion for art took root. In the late 1970s, she joined an artistic workshop called the Etrusco Lludens, collaborating with local artists under the direction of Chilean painter Sébastien Matta. This workshop was a place dedicated to pottery, painting and sculpture, where Marina could develop her artistic skills and explore different forms of artistic expression.

When she left Italy to settle in Paris, her passion for art accompanied her. In 1986, Marina took a major step in her artistic career by applying for her first public exhibition at the Salon d'Automne at the Grand Palais, Paris, after being encouraged by the artist Leonor Fini. This first landmark exhibition was followed by many others over the years.

In 2013, Marina was honored to see two of her works included in the permanent collections of the Musée de la Poste in Paris, a testimony to the recognition of her artistic talent.

Marina Argentini's artistic approach has evolved over time. After a period of abstract painting focused on material and pigments, she gradually returned to collage, a technique that she had abandoned in favor of more classic methods. She also continued to explore the use of matter in her artistic creations, as evidenced by her works presented in the “Painting and Matter” gallery.

Marina is a fan of recycling and not wasting, collecting objects and elements that she integrates into her artistic works, as shown in the “Special Collages” gallery.

His art is often engaged, whether it is raising awareness of animal rights or advocating for an environment that is more respectful of nature. Over the years, she has explored a variety of themes, from dance to music, city life to transportation, and more, as evidenced in the first galleries of her artistic work.

Marina Argentini considers that her artistic creations should not follow a predefined line, but rather follow the paths dictated by her emotions, her inspirations and the chances of the moment. His works are a reflection of life with all its facets, and his artistic approach is a reflection of his commitment to an authentic and free expression of his emotions and convictions.
