The “Chromatisms” refer to the study, use, and combination of colors within a visual context. In this exhibition, they represent the culmination of Álvaro Marín's creative process and his unique approach to landscape. These explorations are showcased in a selection of works that organize and reveal how colors and tones change throughout the day, drawing inspiration from the atmospheres of landscape artists such as Antonio Barrera and William Turner.
Marín invites viewers to contemplate through his own visual language, based on compositions constructed through layered overlays and the use of geometry as a structural element. His works reflect chromatic transitions generated by shifts in light, from the soft ochres of dawn to the intense blues of midday, through the dramatic reddish and purple hues of sunset, and finally fading into the dark grays and blues of night.
Marín’s interpretative tools, such as synthesis and schematization, enable him to narrate the landscape in a unique way, transforming the visual experience into a sensory construction where light and color intertwine. “Chromatisms” invites the viewer to experience the landscape as an emotional and meditative journey, where rationality and emotion merge through chromatic subtleties. This series of works offers a contemplative pause, a profound reflection on the interaction between light and color.
