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, my family and I relocated to Cham in the Upper Palatinate, where we established our home in the serene beauty of the Bavarian Forest. Alongside my husband, I nurtured our sons and found fulfillment in the tranquil surroundings. Professionally, I've served as an instructor, offering engaging cooking courses and sharing my ardor for education and culture. My contributions extend to the district music school, volunteer center and as a cultural ambassador, where I actively promote the enrichment of our community.
Recently, my focus has shifted towards honing various painting techniques and delving into the nuances of organic and architectural artistry. From traditional canvas work to embracing the realm of digital illustration, I continue to explore and evolve within my creative pursuits.
