  • “I am more than happy to support Marina Burnel’s work after she first exhibited in the Embassy in 2017. Burnel is always evolving; she allows - through the image, the emergence of the ‘real from the ordinary’, and in challenging her own artistry she ventures into the abstract with blurred, ecstatic faces peering behind casted shadows.”
