Marie Nova romanticises the female experience by portraying the intimate with what is considered ‘feminine’ hues, sometimes provoking the viewer to reaction by adding quotes or phrases. By abstracting reality, she pushes one to witness current society in a different light. Her recent collage work mainly has a focus on contrasting women and their characters. Marie frequently uses Barbie images to further mask the females in her artwork, as the doll is a perfect metaphor for ‘I can do it all’ character.

Her main medium are vintage playboy magazines, fashion editorials and barbie catalogues along with her own photos made with the disposable camera to construct a desirable layout. Her narrative is a direct reflection of the modern society witnessed mainly through pop culture and social media. These trigger a humorous scene with a satirical unfolding, that are honest and unfiltered. The distorted Barbie image is complicated, strange, sometimes is serious at other times lacks depth. The doll is often deprived of an individual face, which makes her more relatable; she can be judged or laughed at without guilt. She is human but also imaginary. She is genderless, opinionated and truthful. Marie investigates feminism, sustainability and ongoing events in her collage work.
