Marina Mankarios
Marina Mankarios crafts objects that merge classical forms with contemporary narratives, challenging traditional perceptions of sculpture and reproduction. With a background in cello, theater, and product design, Marina brings a unique artistic sensibility to her work, blending structured techniques with improvisation. Specializing in statuary casting, she creatively reinterprets Greek sculpture canons, infusing them with deformation and shifting forms that transform the familiar into the unexpected.
Influenced by 20th-century absurd and Oulipian literature, Marina’s creations invite viewers to explore the tension between tradition and innovation. Each piece redefines the possibilities of molds and materials, offering a fresh perspective on timeless aesthetics. Her work is not just about form, but about storytelling—inviting deeper engagement with art’s role in history and modernity.
