Stunning as always and a wonderful conception. It is always a delight and inspiration to see your work :-) May I ask what medium you use for your oils?
Marina Dieul was born in France. She showed great interest in painting and drawing from an early age, and her family encouraged her vocation.

Her work has received numerous awards and honors, including the Kingston Prize, Salon International ( Greenhouse Gallery), the Artist Magazine, and has been extensively profiled in International Artist Magazine, among others.
