Artist Statement Marilina Marchica’s artistic research explores the relationship between memory, landscape, and time. Through a process of subtraction and abstraction, she focuses on the material and symbolic traces left on architectural forms and fragile territories. Walls, ruins, and eroded surfaces become metaphors for human presence and absence—signs that silently reveal the transformation of places. Her practice moves between painting, mixed media, and installation, often incorporating ancient papers, textures, and pigments that evoke a poetic archaeology of space.
