He exercised the professional painting since the year 1996, although his interest by the Art rise to his early stages of childhood. “The first drawings that he saw were from the comics magazines, that overwhelmingly reached the town where he lived, being the only entertainment to which he could have access. He hired one and other time the same magazine, until he could bought by eight sucres”. Once a month, he went with his family to the cinema at Naranjal, he called back on that the most famous were The Wuang Yu, The Artist recognized that these facts made that he valued every composite detail, what is evidence now in his Works of Arts.
Sometimes in the afternoons a face
Watch us since the background of a mirror;
The Art must be as this mirror
That reveals us our own face.
Marco Barahona was born on April ninth, 1970, now days is a Bachelor of Publicity and Marketing from FACSO National Faculty of Social Communication and Professor of the Arts´ Selection in the High School Saint Spirit.
He exercised the professional painting since the year 1996, although his interest by the Art rise to his early stages of childhood.
He realized that all the years that he has been dedicated to paint, he has pocked around in the nature´s aesthetics, and in his strive to interpenetrate with its organic forms and colors, He always results in the study of the human figure.
He lived the Art as a search of the knowledge, of the beauty and the truth. And there is where he met again much more involved in his pictures, looking at himself as to go beyond his body, analyzing the colors of his awareness, in one repetitive battle by breaking the boundaries and schemes imposed, the unadorned Artist, nude, free from the isms and vanguards.
He believed that the human figure can not be never counted out from the pictorial representation, at least while the human being exists on our earth, because is a source of true and spiritual knowledge.
He confesses that he doesn´t have the comfort of evading from him, and he reiterates with persistence in plans that deeps his spiritual agitation.
