An advocate for artists since a young age, Marine Tanguy managed her first gallery at age 21 in London and opened her first art gallery in Los Angeles at age 23. She felt that the art world was too traditional in the way it managed its talents and that the visual sector – that is the urban realm, advertising sector and digital world – were poorly leveraged by visual arts professionals. MTArt Agency was born as the first talent & creative agency in the visual sector, opening new streams of revenue to visual artists and pushing the integration of their art across all environments.

Marine was awarded Forbes 2018 30 under 30 Europe: Art & Culture and UK entrepreneur of the year for the 2019 NatWest Awards. Her talks include two TEDx Talks on how to transform cities with art and how social media visuals affect our minds.
