The moment you get in a cab and start to relax in the back seat, the moment between emptying your mind and preparing it for what is to come. The moment that the sun warms your face and for however briefly the world around you, except the lingering sensation of this particular moment, has disappeared.
Marina Karpova is a master in catching these moments, making the invisible personal experience in a fleeting moment, which cannot be shared, almost tangible. Is her work autobiographical, is she showing us her own special moments? Or has she recreated a memorable experience of the beholder?
The subtle way in which Marina Karpova portrays these personal experiences makes it possible for us to get a glimpse of an inner world that is normally invisible to anyone on the outside. What normally cannot be shared ís shared between painter, model and the observer.
The Russian artist Marina Karpova (1961) completed her education at the Academy of Moscow, the city where she is famous as a grafic artist and as a painter. Some of her work is also admitted in the Kolodzei Art Foundation.
