JORGE MARÍN'S ART IS DISTURBING AND CHALLENGES US TO SEEK OUR OWN REFLECTION AND AESTHETIC EXPERIENCE. SCULPTURE, UNLIKE OTHER ARTS, OFFERS US THE POSSIBILITY OF DEALING WITH THREE DIMENSIONS, SO IT IS AN INEXHAUSTABLE VEHICLE OF EXPRESSION. WITH A CAREER OF MORE THAN 30 YEARS, MARÍN HAS BECOME AN OUTSTANDING REPRESENTATIVE OF CONTEMPORARY FIGURATIVE SCULPTURE, BOTH IN MEXICO AND IN THE WORLD.

HE WAS BORN IN URUAPAN, MICHOACÁN IN 1963.

OVER THE YEARS, HIS WORK HAS EXPANDED BEYOND THE EXHIBITION ROOMS AND PRIVATE COLLECTIONS, NOW FORMING PART OF THE URBAN LANDSCAPE IN STREETS AND SQUARES AROUND THE WORLD.
