 Darina Marko was born in Bulgaria in 1966. At an early age she
focused her studies on fine art. After specializing in fine art in
secondary school she went on to study at the Academy of Fine Art in
Bulgaria for an additional five years focusing her studies on silk
printing and batik. After completion, Darina moved to London,
England for four years. Darina has spent considerable time traveling
across Europe and North and South America and has exhibited her work
in England, Germany, Italy and Finland. \par \par Inspired by
artists including Egon Schiele and Matisse, Darina bends, twists and
distorts her subject matter and perspective. She freely employs
mixed media including acrylic, water colour, oil and pastel. By
concentrating on the interactions between visual elements including
form, colour, texture and light, her still life work acquires its
abstracted aesthetic.
