ABOUT ME

Hello, I am Marina Rafael. A painter, illustrator, and art educator.

My artistic journey began as a self-taught painter, before pursuing studies in Education at the Aristotelion University in Greece, completing an MA in Art & Craft in Education in London, and later studying Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, London. I also expanded my practice through specialised courses in glassblowing at Sunderland University and in Cathedral Stained Glass painting in Surrey, UK.

Throughout my artistic career, which spans more than thirty-five years, I have held nine solo exhibitions and participated in numerous international art fairs and group exhibitions. These include the World Art Fair in Dubai, the Tatinis Art Fair in Singapore, the Index Hotel Show in Dubai, the Luxembourg Art Prize, and multiple editions of Art Connects Women. My work has received international recognition and awards from Italy, Spain, the UAE, the USA, and more.

Turning words into unforgettable worlds

About me

Turning words into unforgettable worlds

Ever since I was a child, I’ve had a deep passion for fairy tales and drawing. Today, I bring these two loves together by illustrating children’s books.
My greatest joy is watching magical stories come to life through my art.
With colors and images, I breathe life into tales that touch the hearts of both young and old.
For me, illustration means translating the intangible into visual form — keeping the poetry of storytelling alive.
I have collaborated with renowned publishing houses and distinguished authors.

Illustration & Publications

For the last decade, I have been illustrating children’s books and fairy tales.

I continue to work on new fairy tales and illustration projects that bring imagination and colour to children's worlds.

Artistic Vision

Today, my artistic intention is to inspire people—especially those facing health challenges—to keep moving forward and never stop dreaming. Every day brings a new opportunity for hope, colour and transformation. Through my paintings, murals and illustrations, I invite viewers to travel, dream, and reconnect with their inner child.

Endless Possibilities

The beauty of creativity is that there's no limit to what you can create. All you need to get started is just a bit of passion and resourcefulness.
