About the artist:
Marina Richter (*1962) is a graphic artist, painter, and creator of Czech and foreign 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 been living and working in Prague.
In 1990, she graduated from UMPRUM with a degree in illustration and graphic design. She currently focuses on fine art prints, ex libris creation, drawing, and illustration. In printmaking, she utilizes not only etching but primarily lithography, which she prints in master Petr Korbelář's workshop. These are masterpieces, as seen, for example, in her ex libris and fine art prints.
Thematically, Marina Richter combines classical Japanese woodcut forms with the lithography technique. Many of her subjects also stem from antiquity, the Middle Ages, or mysticism. Her artistic signature is clear and distinct; her works are part of private collections in a number of countries, including the Czech Republic, Germany, France, Italy, USA, Belgium, Switzerland, Japan, and Russia.
