About the artist:
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 been living and working in Prague.
In 1990, she graduated from UMPRUM (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 graphics, she uses not only etching techniques but primarily devotes herself to lithography, which she prints in the workshop of master Petr Korbelář. These are masterpieces, as can be seen, for example, in her ex-libris and fine art graphics.
Thematically, Marina Richter connects classic Japanese woodcut forms with lithography techniques. Many of her subjects are also from antiquity, the Middle Ages, or mysticism. Her artistic signature is clear and distinct, and her works are part of private collections in many countries, including the Czech Republic, Germany, France, Italy, USA, Belgium, Switzerland, Japan, and Russia.
