Darina Marko was born in Bulgaria in 1966. At an early age she focused her studies on fine art. After specializing in fine art in secondary school she went on to study at the Academy of Fine Art in Bulgaria for an additional five years. After completion, Marko moved to London, England for four years. She has spent considerable time traveling across Europe and North and South America. Marko has exhibited her work in England, Germany, Italy, and Finland.
Inspired by artists including Egon Schiele and Matisse, Marko bends, twists and distorts her subject matter and perspective. She freely employs mixed media including acrylic, watercolor, oil, and pastel. By concentrating on the interactions between visual elements including form, color, texture, and light, Marko instills her still life work with its abstracted aesthetic.
