Marina Rheingantz

Rheingantz’s paintings are distinguished by their blurred boundaries and meditative atmosphere, continuously navigating the space between abstraction and representation. Her works often translate personal memories and landscapes into painterly form, using branching lines, speckles, mud-like textures, and liquid traces to construct scenes that feel both unfamiliar and intimately known. The layering of gauzy translucent washes and dense stippled brushwork creates a sense of painting in flux—neither purely abstract nor fully figurative, but suspended between perception and depiction.

Her artistic approach resonates with Giorgio Morandi’s phenomenological reflections. As Morandi remarked in a 1960 interview, “Nothing is more abstract, more unreal, than what we actually see... Matter exists, of course, but meaning is what we give it.” Similarly, Rheingantz’s work generates meaning through the continual transformation of the material world.
