Buenos Aires: Marina Soria, 2015. An accordion book from calligrapher and book artist Marina Soria. It contains text from a poem by Argentine writer Bernardo Canal Feijóo. The text is handwritten with walnut ink onto pages with enlarged digitally printed calligraphy, which was reproduced from a painting by the artist. Bound in deep purple Ingres paper covered boards with ribbon closure. The digitally reproduced text in the background is in Spanish. The text is repeated in a different, smaller hand running through the middle of the pages: "La mano que conjura entre los cuatro palos del telar el jardin del alma sabe de la magia de la creación divina." This is the English translation: "The hand that conjures the garden of the soul between the four sticks of the loom, knows about the magic of divine creation." Held in a white cloth pouch with maroon ribbon ties. In fine condition. Size: 19.5 x 10.5 cm closed; 19.5 x 98 cm open.

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.
