Antonyo Marest Print

In order to understand Marest’s type of work, which ranges from sculpture and paint to design, we must take into account that, in his growth as an artist, there exists elements from the environment that are deeply rooted in his creative self. To have grown up in a Mediterranean city that is more than a thousand years old, which has also been a harbor of cultures as well as an incomparable city landscape that transforms with sunlight during the day, is something that inspires creativity. It also provides an innovative capacity enriched by the continuous voyages and studies of the environments of the most important countries of the world of Art Deco – countries like France, Morocco, the U.S., India, and so forth. Generated by its originality, his successful works have received international recognition and shows that Antonyo Marest is one of the main references in introducing new trends within urban art and new formats of expression in contemporary art.

Within Marest’s works, we can observe abstractions that can be found in nature, such as the irradiation of light beams, the waves and fluids, the undulating clouds that generate impossible harmonic forms… Elements that incorporate movement dynamics to the outstanding chromatic discourse of his work, where color is the prevalent feature and establishes a conversation that goes far beyond the one that is established with the spectator: a conversation among content, formats and color and a call to reflection between abstract and formal elements and how, after an elaborate study of color, the sum of both opens to the public in a clean form that allows one to see the content of a work in a brilliantly clear format.
