Mare Vint

Mare Vint

Artist's country of origin: Estonia

Mare Vint (1942-2020) graduated from the State Art Institute of the Estonian SSR (currently Estonian Academy of Arts) as a glass artist but later became a renowned printmaker/ graphic artist.


Mare Vint has mainly worked with ink on canvas and coloured pencils, since 1972 litography tends to be her favourite technique. Her earlier works are characterised by the contrast of black and white, the colour being merely a provisional substance, primarily used for highlighting.


The works from the later period take the viewer on a journey through gardens, parks and towns, as well as through times and eras. The filigrees of lines, dots, rhythms and open surfaces of crystallised motifs, as well as the timeless message of her multi-layered content, provide endless opportunities for interpretation and relate to many generations of admirers.
