MARINA RICHTER

Marina Richter (*1962) is a graphic artist, painter, and creator of Czech and international stamps. She was born in Moscow, where she graduated from a French lyceum and the Secondary School of Applied Arts, specializing in miniature and icon painting. Since 1983, she has lived and worked in Prague.

In 1990, she graduated from the Academy of Arts, Architecture, and Design in Prague, specializing in illustration and graphic design. Currently, she focuses on fine art graphics, creating ex-libris, drawing, and illustration. In her graphic work, she utilizes not only etching techniques but primarily dedicates herself to lithography, which she prints in the workshop of master Petr Korbelář. These are masterpieces, evident, for example, in her ex-libris and fine art graphics.

Thematically, Marina Richter combines classical Japanese woodcut forms with the lithography technique. Many of her subjects also draw from antiquity, the Middle Ages, or mysticism. Her signature style is clear and distinct, and her works are part of private collections in numerous countries, including the Czech Republic, Germany, France, Italy, USA, Belgium, Switzerland, Japan, and Russia.
