Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Marina always searched for her place in the world and this always reflected on her art - with the search for better LGBTQ+ representation in graphic media. Her art went through a metamorphosis where it started to reflect about the meaning of "Self". Marina has a BFA in Painting through the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro with an Extension in Surface Design through PUC-Rio, and, as someone who loves Literature and Cinema, she also works as an Illustrator and Production Designer.
