More About Marina
Marina Blight has been a full-time artist since 2004.
Her artistic foundation was laid studying towards a teaching diploma during the mid-eighties with art as a major subject. Over the years she started developing her own ‘signature’. Although mostly self-taught she attended various courses and workshops.
The art curator of The FirstRand Group ‘found’ her during 2006 and became her mentor.
Her first breakthrough came in the same year when he procured a painting called Man without a dog for the FirstRand corporate collection.
Since then some 30 paintings now form part of corporate collections.
In addition, private collectors and international patrons of the art have acquired her work.
She has exhibited in more than 20 solo and group exhibitions and was a finalist of the Thami Mnyele Fine Arts Competition exhibition during 2011.
Marina regularly conducts workshops and demonstrations to fellow artists on various techniques.
Her work, oil on canvas and mixed media, speak mostly of her inner feelings and how she sees the world supporting her motto that
“Art is our perceptions of reality”.
