Although many of his pieces are paradoxically abstract,\u00a0he is mostly known for his figurative sculpture depicting human.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]For his\u00a0investigation,\u00a0he has not only used traditional materials and worked with highly trained technicians\u00a0(terracotta, cast\u00a0bronze, marble carving or wood carving), but he has also worked with polymers to incapsulate seeds, sugar, meat, tobacco and others.\u00a0With\u00a0his pieces,\u00a0he\u00a0invites\u00a0the spectator to focus\u00a0on the evidence of the process, (the elements that are crucial in the transformation of materials into shape) and the\u00a0intervention of third parties. Lately he has been working with digital scanning and printing.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]His most recent occupation has been the creation of a Foundation dedicated to human development through design art and traditional culture.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]www.javiermarin.com.mx<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”yes” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” anchor=”programs” css=”.vc_custom_1592263945823{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}” el_id=”programs” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
