Manolo Marquéz

Resume

Mexico City, Mexico, 1981.

Visual artist,t and professor of photography at the Universidad Iberoamericana, and American School Foundation in Mexico City.

Márquez explores the limits of analog photographic materials to reproduce saturated and vivid colors. The process of creating the print does not involve any camera, but film veiled in different types of light, which is used as a background to create expressionist photographic images.

Within the revaluation of artistic practice in the darkroom in recent years, Márquez's images operate in a diffuse territory between photography and painting, since, by incorporating opaque or translucent objects at the moment of creation, unique and unrepeatable silhouettes are printed in each image. The colorful work refers the viewer to a Pop aesthetic through the exploration of a color palette popular in the eighties of the last century.

In 2013 he obtained a master's degree in Image Art at Rochester Institute of Technology (New York), United States after receiving a scholarship from this renowned university.

His work has been exhibited in various cities such as Mexico City, Campeche, Veracruz, and New York.
