Greek artist Marina Syntelis explores her deep connection to the sea, painting memories, emotions, and landscapes of Santorini in a journey between realism and abstraction.

This blog will be a mix of many things. I’ll write about my work, both finished and in progress. I’ll talk about what inspires me — especially my deep connection with the sea — and how that shows up in my paintings. I’ll also share thoughts on technique, color, composition, and what I’ve learned (or struggling to unlearn) over time.
