Marina Apollonio
(b. 1940)

Marina Apollonio is an Italian painter and optical artist. She lives and works in Padua.

In 1963, Apollonio produced her first work, Metal Reliefs with Alternate Color Sequences. She shared with other Op-Artists the interest in a depersonalized art, as opposite to Abstract Expressionism. She used industrial material in her process, creating dynamic and fluctuating environments in the user's perception.
