A rainy afternoon when I arrived at his studio in East London. He offered me a banana smoothie, which I politely refused for reasons that now seem extravagant, and we talked about Neil Young and Mazzy Star and other musicians we admired. Emmet Green took this picture of me with one of his cumbersome film cameras. I like it not only because it reminds me of my grandmother in one of those framed portraits she kept on her nightstand, but because it captures, with exquisite economy, the essence of my everyday struggle. When I’m not staring into space, trying to make sense of life languid-eyed, I write. Sometimes I paint. I am the author of Sea Silk, a collection of poetry. My paintings have featured in galleries and exhibitions in London, Miami, Florence, and Paris. I was born in Florence, Italy. Now I live in London, England. https://www.mariannasaver.com/original-artworks daily 0.75 2020-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efa22450f005b7ca5e6aa8d/2be614ee-61d0-4329-a083-e5556c40c1aa/IMG_8274.JPG artworks Gentle on my mind https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efa22450f005b7ca5e6aa8d/1cc1850c-9c47-4301-8337-bf4f09e21f54/IMG_8273.JPG artworks The essential is invisible to the eye https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efa22450f005b7ca5e6aa8d/10e4ef6f-c681-4501-9d67-6063a3b1c6f5/IMG_8271.JPG artworks The calm before the storm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efa22450f005b7ca5e6aa8d/49281f94-b2d5-490f-a564-63bbac081101/IMG_8272.JPG artworks On the nature of ether https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efa22450f005b7ca5e6aa8d/4c992991-e68d-4133-aa0d-1f3156dff6e9/IMG_8275.JPG artworks Seijaku https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efa22450f005b7ca5e6aa8d/0ee38dea-56c5-45d9-9f86-3420b6c47704/IMG_8270.JPG artworks Metanoia https://www.mariannasaver.com/essays daily 0.75 2024-12-01 https://www.mariannasaver.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-01-19 https://www.mariannasaver.com/poems daily 0.75 2025-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efa22450f005b7ca5e6aa8d/1600814618789-UFZPFGPQRPZQ9BAKN2BY/sea+silk+marianna+saver.png Poems - I grew up with my nose in a book and my left hand in a can of paint. Or so it seems. My mother would read to me chapters from the classics and my father would teach me how to draw, especially how to draw what you see, rather than what you are looking at. One winter day, while I was staring at a stack of unfinished paintings I keep in my studio, then back at my computer screen, as I do most days, I was reminded of the need for abstraction in both language and visual art, of how something personal becomes universal on account of its separation from the obvious. Sea Silk is a meditation on beauty and loss, the life they share, and the ties that keep them entwined. A reminder, I hope, that what we see is as important as what stands in front of us. https://www.mariannasaver.com/copy-sample daily 0.75 2025-12-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efa22450f005b7ca5e6aa8d/e8ad32cd-d567-4397-8afc-a9540ac283cb/Screenshot+2025-12-22+at+14.18.36.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efa22450f005b7ca5e6aa8d/22b9c5be-2d26-4d05-9297-765a0f410d75/Screenshot+2025-12-22+at+14.33.15.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efa22450f005b7ca5e6aa8d/5c6852d7-348c-4ee6-b6c5-c87bbb835c55/Screenshot+2025-12-22+at+14.31.51.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efa22450f005b7ca5e6aa8d/ae415d9d-713e-4138-8ccf-909c99971dc4/Screenshot+2025-12-22+at+14.33.40.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efa22450f005b7ca5e6aa8d/57e8dbcb-e1bd-4d65-9e4f-0d2acbf3aff2/image001.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efa22450f005b7ca5e6aa8d/9852a58d-1b4f-4c2e-9745-efea0b5e8259/image007.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efa22450f005b7ca5e6aa8d/480942f0-69fb-4a98-8ae9-6c89a5973c55/image005.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efa22450f005b7ca5e6aa8d/523540d7-8ec3-4408-be0c-a165df3b7b77/image003.png https://www.mariannasaver.com/home daily 1.0 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efa22450f005b7ca5e6aa8d/1605193174953-CAH9NH79Y66BCXRE69GQ/sea+silk HOME
