West Village sunset II Painting

Marcia is a modern impressionist. Her style has been compared with a modern Van Gogh with an undoubtedly luminous quality of her own. Marcia art has been positively reviewed by Pulitzer Prize art critic Jerry Saltz for its “soft touch and light”. In the last five years she’s exhibited in Milan, Rome, Barcelona, Miami and New York City. Marcia paints on the floor and at such rapid fire, she captures a view to an eternal New York as if seen through a speeding window cab or a beach in the Hamptons. “I’m a surfer, I paint surf and sunsets off photos I took of places I love. I'm seeking to catch the feeling of a perfect moment. I want to cause an effect on the viewer like they're riding on a wave". Marcia grew up in Madrid which has no beach, so she took to painting the ocean as a kid as a means to treasure her summers in Encinitas and Málaga. Her art requires to be seen, moves with the eye and fills a room. Fast brushstrokes both delicate and raw, translucent and thick, crash and light up large canvases like a good sunset would. “I paint to catch that life force behind everything. I believe in art's power to transform our perception of reality in a physical way". Marcia is also a social and environmental activist who owns an art gallery in New York City dedicated to promoting emerging women artists and creating more diversity in the arts
