Marina Razheva
Conceptual, multifunctional and interdisciplinary artist
Born in 1969, Urals, USSR. Based at Lake Balaton, Hungary

I work with time, memory, transformation, and myth. I explore the “in-between” state, using a wide range of materials, from ephemeral objects to found spaces. My artistic language includes performance, objects, photography, painting, and open-air installations. I believe each idea calls for its own form, so I employ diverse media and techniques, always seeking to reveal new layers of meaning.
