Marina Nazarova
Marina Nazarova is a Russian-Canadian artist living and working between Canada and Brazil. She holds a BFA in Painting from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver, British Columbia, and participated in an international exchange program at L’École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where she developed a lasting passion for figurative art.
Marina’s painting practice centers on anonymous female portraits set within abstract environments. Her figures are intentionally undefined, allowing space for personal interpretation rather than fixed narratives. Drawing inspiration from yoga philosophy and meditative practice, her work explores themes of stillness, detachment, and quiet introspection.
Through restrained compositions and subtle emotional tension, Marina focuses on the perception of the familiar while suggesting the presence of the unknown and unseen. Her paintings invite viewers into moments of pause—where identity, place, and meaning remain open rather than prescribed.
Marina Nazarova’s work is held in private collections across Canada, the United States, Europe, and Brazil, and has been featured in House & Home magazine in both the 2021 and 2023 issues.
