Marina Velisioti born in Thessaloniki, Greece 1982. Studied at the Department of Applied Arts at the School of Fine Arts in Thessaloniki.
During her university studies she attended courses and seminars of scenography . Amongst her interests are video art applications and music themes of psychology,
psychoacoustics and documentary. Has also attended course in technical analogue and digital photo printing, engraving and sculpture.
In the last section of her works, she is concerned about disturbing of an original image, and either processing it analogically or digitally, or reproducing it in a completely different medium.
The object is often the natural landscape and its structural elements (mountains, lakes, horizon, etc.). These are mostly remote, deserted or forgotten landscapes, over which I collide with the most prominent technique, turning them into astonishing, unrealistic universes, often with a playful mood.
More recently, the last section of her work is a series of handwoven tapestries.
She is the founder and editor of the art zine Bebabebo.
