Darina Marko was born in
Bulgaria in 1966. At an early age she focused her studies on fine art. After
specializing in fine art in secondary school she went on to study at the Academy
of Fine Art in Bulgaria for an additional five years focusing her studies on
silk printing and batik. After completion, Darina moved to London, England for
four years. Darina has spent considerable time travelling across Europe and
North and South America and has exhibited her work in England, Germany, Italy
and Finland
Inspired by artists including Egon Schiele and Matisse, Darina bends, twists and
distorts her subject matter and perspective. She freely employs mixed media
including acrylic, watercolour, oil and pastel. By concentrating on the
interactions between visual elements including form, colour, texture and light,
her still life work acquires its abstracted aesthetic.
