Daniela Marin
Born: 1977
Hometown: Caracas
Based in: Peru
Although raised in Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Chile, and Argentina, Daniela Marin’s art practice is currently located in Lima, Peru.
Educated in graphic and textile design at the CHAVÓN School of Design (affiliated with Parsons School of Design) in the Dominican Republic, Marin’s work speaks its own language, void of cultural expectations.
Vibrant Caribbean vibes dance across complex compositions of the subconscious. Incandescent, whimsical, biomorphic forms flirt with geometric structures and stripes.
This contrast of stability versus fluidity and movement reinterprets her childhood memories.
Fluorescent pink and orange backgrounds create an atmosphere for cool and neutral-toned forms. Meanwhile, furry textures on playful organisms taunt the viewer’s curiosity.
In the work, the artist reconnects with her inner child.
