Carlos Marin (Michoacan, Mexico 1959), his work is versatail and the search of his languages and the experimentation of different materials what characterizes it, but always returns to the ceramic material which is deeply identified. For Marín the mud is a material that allows him to gently shape the body and the bodies that interact to tell a story, a past that eats away and transformed into art.
The dress becomes the guise of humanized beast to represent earthy winged creatures, shaped bodies like fish and mermaids between turtles, birds, iguanas and snakes to follow each other, to connect and flow beside the metamorphosis of a female body as a tree that protects the birds, a dialogue of the human figure with turkeys, ducks, frogs, pigs, wild boar and ox heads; forming a bestiary.
Carlos Marin is an artist who was born in Uruapan Michoacan, Mexico in 1959. He belongs to one of the most representative families of mexican contemporary artists. Studied Graphic Design at the Academy of San Carlos in the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México UNAM. Became a designer for many years without ever leaving the sculpture and drawing, until in 2000 decided to pursue art professionally; Since then he has explored plastically around the human body, as he rightly says: it is their language.
During the past 27 years Carlos Marin has lived in Cuernavaca and all his professional production has been held in this city since 2000.
Carlos Marin has developed a proposal essentially around the sculpture , relief, drawing and graphics,his materials are mainly ceramics , oxides and pen. He is professionally engaged in the visual arts since 1995
