Let my eyes, my spirit, and my soul rest on a palette of colors.
Margarita Hanke.
Where should I begin? I am Margarita Hanke, also known as Margarita Vivas Hadgialy or simply Marbeth.
I was born in a beautiful city in the midst of the Venezuelan Andes mountains and spent my youth living in many North, Latin, and South American countries.
From an early age, my life was surrounded by a plethora of influences and ever-changing landscapes, shaping my understanding of art, culture, light, and color. Since childhood, I have expressed my creative side through art and music, and at the age of 8, I was first able to display my own paintings as part of an exhibition alongside other artists.

During my school years and studies in architecture and diplomacy, I continued to develop my skills in painting, encountering almost all painting and drawing techniques. This even led me to attend the Städel School for Fine Arts in Frankfurt am Main in 1994.
In 1997, I moved to Cham in the Upper Palatinate with my family, where I raised my sons with my husband and discovered a new home for myself in the beautiful Bavarian Forest. Since then, I have been working there as a language instructor and give cooking courses, all while expressing my passion for education and culture through my involvement at the district music school and as a cultural ambassador for the district.
Lately, I have been focused on refining various painting techniques and exploring the different aspects of organic and architectural painting. My mediums range from the traditional canvas to digital illustration.
