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 studied at 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 UMPRUM with a degree in illustration and graphic design. Currently, she focuses on free graphics, creating ex-libris, drawing, and illustration. In graphic arts, she utilizes not only etching techniques but primarily dedicates herself to lithography, which she prints in the workshop of master Petr Korbelář. These are masterful works, as evidenced, for example, by her ex-libris and free graphic works.
Thematically, Marina Richter combines classical Japanese woodcut forms with the lithography technique. Many of her motifs also draw 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.
