Originally from the Philippines, Mina immigrated to Canada in 1977 and is currently residing and working in Toronto. In 2004, she left her career in Human Resources to pursue her passion in drawing and painting. Although she attended various schools to strengthen her drawing skills, in painting, Mina is self-taught. In 2007, Mina and a group of realist artists started the Adelaide Street Studio, a cooperative in downtown Toronto. As a contemporary realist painter, Mina’s main focus is in still life and portraiture. Her technique is based on the academic or traditional style of painting; a technique that emphasizes skill and draftsmanship.

Her focus is primarily Still Life, Tompe I'Oeil and Portraiture. Her mastery of painting techniques allows her to go beyond mere likeness to express the interiority of her model.
The portraits of Marina Dieul are distinguished by their sensitivity, grace and harmony. The artist has lived and worked for some years now in Montreal.
