She even had the opportunity to work as an extra on Univision and VH1, and was even considered for Victoria's Secret's new image, although she ultimately didn't get the gig. In 2019, Marina was crowned Miss Doral USA for Miss Universe. But it wasn't until the pandemic hit that she saw it as a sign to shift her focus away from modeling and towards her true passion – art. As a child, Marina was already showing signs of artistic talent, receiving awards for her drawings and sculptures in school and museums/art galleries in Argentina.
However, it wasn't until the beginning of 2022 that she fully embraced her love for art. What sets Marina's art apart is her use of rhinestones, carefully placed one by one in all of her pieces. Her art is inspired by money and luxury, often drawing from real-life stories she's heard from wealthy friends or her own experiences. While she appreciates all styles of art, her biggest inspirations are Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, and Alec Monopoly.
