Marina Razheva is a conceptual and interdisciplinary artist whose practice spans performance, land art, site-specific installation, video, ephemeral objects, and field-based photography. Born in the Urals in 1969 and now based near Lake Balaton in Hungary, she works at the intersection of natural philosophy, mythology, and place-responsive artistic research.

Her artistic journey is deeply shaped by her background in biology and design, which gives her a unique sensitivity to the subtle processes of transformation, decay, and regeneration in nature. This scientific foundation informs her meditative and attentive approach to form and environment, allowing her to engage with the fragile thresholds between presence and absence.

Razheva’s projects often emerge from quiet observation, poetic gesture, and embodied presence. Themes of memory, disappearance, transition, and the archaeology of space recur throughout her work. Known for activating landscapes and everyday environments, she creates delicate interventions that resonate with local histories, myths, and layered temporalities.

Since 1998, she has realized 39 solo projects and participated in over 100 international group exhibitions, biennials, and festivals across Europe, Russia, the Middle East, and the US. Her works are included in several public collections, including the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, the Museum of Fine Arts in Yekaterinburg, Surber’s Museum in Hungary, and cultural institutions in Italy.

Razheva is the co-founder of the collaborative duo R² (with a research partner, since 1989), and a founding member of the informal artist group “Maler’s Brigade named after Kazimir Malevich.” In 2024, she became a member of PRO SYMPOSION, a Hungarian network of creative symposia and site-based artistic practices.

Her artistic methods include Revealed Realism, Design of Remembrance, and Betweenness — strategies that engage directly with context, memory, and presence in subtle and non-invasive ways.

Living and working in Hungary, Razheva regularly participates in artistic symposia, residencies, and collaborative research journeys across Europe, continuously exploring the delicate interplay between nature, time, and human experience.
