Marina Calamai is a Florentine artist and designer. Inspired by nature and with the aim of creating tempting works of art that awaken the five senses, Marina uses her humor and irony to transform everyday objects into a more complex and layered work of art, a rebirth of the mundane into something unique, emotionally impactful yet playful.
Using the Renaissance lost wax method casting in all her jewelry, Marina works with bronze, silver, and gold. Marina Calamai also creates bespoke custom pieces as well as matrimonial pieces.
Her works also range from furniture design to painting and nature-based installations/performances. Since 2001, she has exhibited and performed in museums, in both private and public spaces, and has collaborated with notable brands in creating unique designs and collaborative pieces. Marina has studied under stylist Alain Lalou, Peter Cox, Rose Shakinovsky and Claire Gavronsky.
