Carlos Javier Márquez

Vocationally an artist, I have discovered in ocean waters a new passion. Through my work I investigate calm marine landscapes with dry stain and superimposed brushstrokes. The loose details respect shapes and tonalities in a way which, from certain distance, the style becomes scrupulously figurative representing the real model as it is. When by taking a closer look the representation turns into an abstract rigmarole without any formal reference.

My only interest is to get vibrant and clean paintings, leaving the oils making the eye work.
