Background:
Marina was born in 1963 in Dushanbe in the Soviet Union. She attended art school from 1974 to 1978 before enrolling at the Art Academy in 1978 to study easel painting under the guidance of Professor Nogmat Khakimov, and Lyubov Kuzina.
After graduating, Marina embarked on an ambitious ten year period of nearly non-stop participation in group and individual shows continuing her unique artistic talents. Her exposure to variety of experiences and people culminated in a desire to experience a complete “life makeover“ which she realized by immigrating to Israel in 1994.
Grigoryan added sculpture and ceramics to her growing repertoire until a dehabilitating medical condition tragically cut short her ability to continue to perform as a professional artist.
Her magnificent limited body of work, which will probably never be added-to is of such stature that she continues to be exhibited in Israel, America and Europe.
