About Marinka Masséus

After finishing her MBA, Marinka's studies in Buddhist Psychology guided her philosophical journey and the Photo Academy in Amsterdam stimulated her to channel her feelings into images.

Marinka's photography revolves around people and their place in society. Especially topics concerning injustice and inequality are a driving force behind her work. Gender equality is a main theme running throughout Marinka's projects; she has always felt strongly about misogyny, the injustice of it outraged her even at a very young age and still does. It is only inevitable that her fierce feelings about this topic fuel her inspiration and determination and translate into her work as an artist.

Her photography is a way for Marinka to communicate with the outside world about topics she cares about and is therefore an essential part of her link to life. In a way, it’s her process of making sense of the world.
