Marina Rusic is an Italian figurative painter based near Florence. Her artistic practice investigates femininity as a space of emotion, resilience and transformation. Through oil painting, she creates intimate portraits where the female body and botanical elements merge into poetic narratives that explore identity, vulnerability and inner strength.

Influenced by both classical painting and contemporary figurative art, her works balance realism with subtle surrealism, using flowers as visual metaphors for personal growth and emotional states. Her paintings seek to establish a quiet dialogue with the viewer, encouraging contemplation rather than immediate interpretation.

Alongside her personal artistic research, Marina also produces commissioned pet portraits, always driven by the desire to capture the emotional essence of her subjects.
