About our guest

‍

At age 21 years old, Marine was the youngest gallery manager in Europe when she managed the gallery of Steve Lazarides who discovered Banksy. At 23 years old, she was approached by a US investor to open her first art venture in Los Angeles, De Re Gallery (named after the island she came from in France) on Melrose Avenue. 

‍

It’s in Los Angeles that Marine had the idea to build the very first talent agency in the art world, mimicking the top talent agencies like CAA, UTA and WME. Marine launched Certified B Corporation, MTArt Agency in London, in 2015, when she was 25 years old.

‍

Today, MTArt agency is the art sector’s leading talent agency representing some of the most talented, forward-thinking artists in the world. The agency enables artists to work with the broadest canvas possible, from working with brands to public art and fine art institutions. 

‍

MTArt Agency was listed as one of the fastest growing companies in the UK on the Sunday Times Power list and is currently expanding to the US and Middle East markets. MTArt Agency has been supported by a number of incredible investors, including Frederic Jousset, Todd Ruppert and Saul Klein.
