Winner of the International Award “Lorenzo il Magnifico”, 5th Prize for Photography at the Florence Biennale 2017

Marlene Luce is a photographer-artist who, as a result of extensive travels through-out Europe and the Middle East, was able to capture the cultural aspect and history of great civilizations while bringing to light the beauty of the natural world. Throughout her career, Marlene Luce exhibited in Montreal, New York, Paris, London, Cairo, Tunis & Sidi Bou Saïd in Tunisia, Algiers, Florence, and Lake Como in Italy.

After working only in film photography for many years, Marlene Luce now uses digi-tal photography to tint her images, highlighting the painterly aspect of her imagery.

Marlene Luce developed a technique consisting of tinted images transferred on can-vas and painted over in oil paint. This process referred to as ''Pintography'' combines the timelessness and classicism of photography with a modern medium, to create images that ask us to review our existing views of the world and to challenge the current boundaries between the artistic categories of photography and painting.
