Marina Berio es una artista visual Neoyorquina que trabaja con dibujos y fotografía para transmitir aspectos de experiencia visual que son íntimos y viscerales a la vez. Ha realizado imágenes familiares impresas con su propia sangre y usando negativos fotográficos de espacios, objetos y paisajes tales como dibujos de carbonilla imbuidos de una materialidad sutil y profunda. En su proyecto más reciente, fotografió las paredes de su estudio para expresar la interrelación de realidades anidadas en el espacio mental, el proceso creativo, las topografías internas del cuerpo y el área de su taller en sí.

Berio estudió fotografía, dibujo, escultura e historia del arte y realizó una maestría en fotografía en la escuela Bard de Nueva York. Recibió la prestigiosa beca de la fundación John Simon Guggenheim, además de otros premios por la Fundación Pollock/Krasner, la fundación de las artes de Nueva York y la fundación Aaron Siskind. Ha sido invitada a participar en varias residencias de arte entre ellas la MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, Millay y Schloss Plüschow. Sus últimas exposiciones han sido en Baxter Street / CCNY en Nueva York, Galerie Miranda en París, Francia; OFF Triennale en Hamburgo; y Shiro Oni Studio en Japón. Ha exhibido también en la galería Michael Steinberg Fine Arts, Von Lintel Gallery, Smack Mellon y Artists Space en Nueva York; Judy Ann Goldman Fine Art en Boston EE.UU; Les Rencontres d’Arles, Galerie Camera Obscura en París; Otto Zoo y Acta International en Italia.

Berio enseña en la escuela “International Center of Photography” de Nueva York y ha sido invitada como expositora y crítica de arte en centros educativos de pre y pos grado a lo largo de los EE.UU.
