Art has always been a part of Marika Langs life. She was born 1961 in an artist-family. Marikas career started with her painting traditional landscapes and later she moved on to both abstract and surrealistic motives that finally developed into her naive pictures where Marika has found her way of expressing herself.
Marika wants to spread joy with her paintings. There is life and movement in the paintings, the figures are not static.
“The people in my paintings first pop up in my imagination but when they take shape on the painting they each get their own background and history.”
