Marina Raiskin was born in 1973 in Almaty, then the capital city of Kazakhstan.
From 1990 until 1995 she studied in the Faculty of Drawing and Graphics at Almaty State University.
Upon completing her studies, she pursued a combined professional life that integrated drawing and design together with yoga. To that end, she embarked in a journey of investigation and study of this discipline, especially the spiritual philosophical facet that originates in Hindu thought.
This experience allowed Marina to advance further and become a yoga teacher.
Together with her artistic development as a painter, Marina became involved with fashion design, particularly textile design. This combination turned into the basis of the art that Marina has pursued in the last few years: classical art, influenced by the renowned classical artist Gustav Klimt, characters from the world of fashion; and most importantly, an emphasis on textures, graphic shapes, color, and different materials.
Influences from the Eastern culture are also visible, especially in the choice of colors and textures. It is possible that Marina’s country of birth, Kazakhstan, which borders with China and other Eastern countries, has also influenced her art.
