Margarita’s work explores light and colour, expressing the quiet beauty of nature through bold, vibrant compositions. Her paintings have been exhibited in Singapore and New York.
“Colour plays a central role in my art. I create bold, expressive paintings that bring light, warmth, and a sense of vibrancy to any space. Working mainly with oil and acrylic, I explore rich colour palettes and layered textures to reflect the beauty I see in nature - sunrises, tropical foliage, and the shifting tones of the sky. I believe colour has the power to uplift and energize but also to soothe and quiet the mind. My goal is to create art that not only brightens interiors but also transforms them, offering moments of calm, joy, and quiet reflection.”
