Genesis 1:1

Buenos Aires: Marina Soria, 2018. A unique book from renowned calligrapher and book artist Marina Soria. In this vibrant and inventive work, Ms. Soria has created a single page comprising a lattice of small pieces of paper woven and stitched together with a design encircling the number 1 on the front, and the Spanish text of the opening words of Genesis from the Bible on the other side. Done with watercolors and gold leaf on Canson and marbled papers. Bound in hard covers with Canson paper, with a window frame carved out to show a small part of the design of the inside page, resembling stained glass. Accompanied by a card with a description of the book and signed by the artist. Housed in an orange stiff paper portfolio. In fine condition. Size: 24.2 x 27.8 cm.

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Marina Soria is a seasoned artist and educator with degrees in Fine Arts and Graphic Design. Not content to just immerse herself in learning calligraphy at international conferences, and through courses with renown calligraphers, she studied Eastern principles of Beauty in sumi-e (Japanese painting). She distilled and blended these principles with her rich experience and background in the fine arts, typography and graphic arts, employing unique approaches and techniques. She has also dabbled in the textile arts, creating a metaphor for weaving; letters as stitches and text as if it were a textile. Her works, vibrating with a love for nature and exploding with life and color, can be found in calligraphy collections in museums, universities, and libraries in the U.S., Europe, and South America. Marina has received numerous national and international awards, and has been featured widely in calligraphic arts publications. A prolific artist, experimental calligrapher, book artist, and educator, her goal is to mingle diverse disciplines to challenge the limits of conceptual art and technique. ARTISTSB/072622.
