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 miniatures and icons. 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. She currently focuses on fine art graphics, creating ex-libris, drawings, and illustrations. In her graphic work, she uses not only etching techniques but primarily lithography, which she prints in the workshop of master Petr Korbelář. These are masterful works, as can be seen, for example, in her ex-libris and fine art graphics.
Thematically, Marina Richter connects classical Japanese woodcut forms with the technique of lithography. Many of her themes are also drawn 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.
