The exhibition “Landscapes” is understood as a chromatic study that narrates Álvaro Marín’s process and his focus on the landscape. It confronts us with his interest in capturing the immaterial hues of light present in different atmospheres and spaces at various times, drawing on works by Antonio Barrera and William Turner as references. This involves an exercise in observing and identifying color ranges, shadows, and depths.
His work clearly shows the influence of European avant-gardes in the way he synthesizes color and structures compositions through geometry. Marín approaches artistic creation with a need to bring balance and order to his compositions, organizing hues and highlighting their constant relationships. His canvases become spaces for sensory exploration, where paintings radiate light, translate sensations, and invite the audience to adopt a contemplative stance to uncover depth in their transparencies and geometric compositions.
“Landscapes” captures the essence of Marín’s work and his timeless spirit, offering us a piece enriched by his environment and emotional state, both rational and emotive. The minimalism and universality of his paintings evoke calm, allowing for an almost contemplative experience through light, color, and texture.
