About the author:
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 miniatures and icons. Since 1983, she has lived and worked in Prague.
In 1990, she graduated from UMPRUM (Academy of Arts, Architecture, and Design in Prague) in illustration and graphic design. She currently focuses on freelance graphic art, ex-libris creation, drawing, and illustration. In graphic art, she uses not only etching techniques but primarily dedicates herself to lithography, which she prints in the workshop of master Petr Korbelář. These are masterworks, as evidenced, for example, by her ex-libris and freelance graphic art.
Thematically, Marina Richter combines classic Japanese woodcut forms with lithography techniques. Many subjects are also from antiquity, the Middle Ages, or mysticism. Her handwriting is clear and distinct, and her works are part of private collections in a number of countries, including the Czech Republic, Germany, France, Italy, the USA, Belgium, Switzerland, Japan, and Russia.
