Marina Gromova was born in 1954 in Leningrad in the family with a few generations of sculptors, so Marina spent a lot of time in creative studios as a kid. She loved to draw and sculpt since her childhood. She lived with parents in China for 3 years, where she was imbued with oriental culture. She traveled a lot around her country with her parents and, over time, it became her way of life as a nomad artist. After graduating from the Stieglitz Art Academy, she worked by profession, and in her free time she painted for her soul. Passion for oriental culture together with trips to unique places in India, life in the mountains and meditation helped Marina to express her creativity in deep alive images filled with inner light. There is also a place for graphics, painting, and decorative crafts in the work of Marina. Her project "Living stones" has existed for many years. Being an experienced coach and teacher, she shares her experience with many students. Marina has been teaching her own method of art therapy since 2000, together with intuitive painting and painting on stones. All her life Marina studied her inner world and the outer world. Starting from herself and people she came to understanding of balance and harmony. She touched the mystery hidden behind the veil during space exploration expeditions. This is what helps her to pass on that space that surrounds us, that space that lives inside a person. “Through the paintings I transfer what can be read between the lines. Everything in this world is reflected in us, everything is one, be that nature or human, anything earthly or ethereal. On one hand my paintings inspire people for the flight of their souls, and on another hand the "stone parables" give people strong support on the earth, so they can hear the voice of Earth through the patterns of the mosaic, where stones from different regions are formed into a single image". Marina Gromova is a regular participant of exhibitions in the Middle Asia, where she has lived for half of her life. She is also taking a part in exhibitions in different Russian cities. Being a participant in an exhibition in Slovakia, she created a large sculpture "From the Depth of Ages". Her personal exhibitions create an atmosphere of harmony and trust, reveal the secret of being and give a feeling of belonging to something greater.
