Marina Louw

According to Marina there is nothing pedantic about her work, no messages, no doctrines and no philosophies.

As an artist she sees herself as an observer rather than a philosopher. The subject matter of her work does not intend to convey any deeper meaning. It is important mainly as an accidental part of her observation of the reality of the world around her, which filters through her in order to trigger the important, interesting and  intricate process of creating a work of art - a kind of 'conversation' between the medium, the subject matter and the objects depicted on the canvas.

As the creator of the work, she never dictates the outcome thereof - it is simply a process between herself as the observer and the artwork itself.
