MariKa Artist<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Borned and raised in a family of artists in Boulogne-sur-mer, MariKa has evolved in an artistic universe and has always received encouragements from her relatives to pursue in that way.<\/p>\n

She studied in Boulogne-sur-mer School of Fine Arts from 1983 to 1990. She mainly worked in her father\u2019s studio \u2013who was always available for her and taught her – at the age of only 8 – the art of perspectives. She obtained a literary baccalaureate, choosing fine arts as an elective.<\/p>\n

She grew up and studied in the Nord Pas de Calais before leaving for Britain at the age of 20 – where she was to spend a year and stayed for 10! Her inspiration comes from the numerous trips she had the opportunity to take. She is close to nature, and yet truly fascinated by big cities and skyscrapers, and never leaves her house without a notebook and a camera.<\/p>\n

She is strongly influenced by artists whom she describes as colorful, original, poetic and eager to succeed through hard work, talent, and experimentations.<\/p>\n

She is the guardian of the Rafistol\u00e9s – characters patched up with bits and bobs. She takes a sheer pleasure in awakening our feelings through her drawings, paintings or sculptures which all convey an unconditional zest for life.<\/p>\n
