Ancizar Marin Other Items

This section for Ancizar Marin, deals with all other available Marin artworks excluding ‘Wall Climbers’

Ancizar Marin’s installations are composed of volcanic rock fused with fibreglass and finished to a high gloss with coloured lacquers in a dazzling array of hues.

He has also introduced a collection of rainbow coloured ‘Frenchies’ (dogs) that are proving a huge hit with pet lovers the world over, especially in Miami, Florida.

Indeed, Marin hopes that audiences will experience nothing more complicated than pleasure through movement, colour, and form. His philosophy pays homage to the Matissean credo that art should be joyful, devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter, and appeal to everyone.

Born in Colombia, Marin first received formal art training in the 1980s at the Bellas Artes Institute in Manizales, Colombia. He continued to study sculpture at the Luccio Petraglia School of Art in Bogota, where he honed his sculptural proficiency in bronze and steel. Later, South American travel exposed him to the rich melting pot of cultural influences that further informed his approaches to colour and texture. Marin works now in South Florida, where his work has been featured in design magazines, gallery shows, and prestigious art fairs, and private commissions continue to proliferate.

What Ancizar Says About His Work:
“Since my time in high school, sculpture has been an obsession and a fascination for me. The idea of moulding three-dimensional forms, with contour, details and colours provides me endless creativity. I have been privileged to have worked with masters such as Fernando Botero. Being an artist sculptor has never been easy. However, I cannot describe the amount of joy, happiness and peace that I feel when I am sculpting especially when working on a new idea.

I have developed an affinity for volcanic rock, fibreglass and bronze as a medium. Such material provides me with infinite ways to express my ideas, my feelings, my desires, my thoughts and the challenge of knowing how we the artists are very different. That’s why I experiment with new techniques and finishes, including chrome, bronze, volcano rock, wood, resin and fibreglass. I have been a recipient of many awards that have set me apart from other sculptors.

My intention is to capture the attention of other humans to stimulate a dialogue of love, admiration, knowledge and feelings for art. My dreams are very clear and my most important wish is that my work will bring the same joy and happiness they bring to me. And that other people will love my pieces as much as I do.” – Ancizar Marin
