The artist raises questions about the nature of communication and the way in which one can express abstract and conceptual ideas through colour and iconographic markings.

How would you describe yourself and your artwork?

I describe myself as a thinker, showing my images with a personal style and where each image shows that precise moment in just a few seconds and also the character is transmitting what I have in mind. I try to take pictures with ideas that I feel attracted to since the beginning, leaving my mark as an architect. I studied for my Bachelor’s degree in architecture in Mexico. I have a double nationality; Mexican and Lebanese.

What is a barrier you as an artist overcame? Is there anything that enabled you to develop your work as an artist in your life?

As an artist, I don't have much trouble expressing myself. Because I've absorbed a lot of things, and I've always expressed them as art, and my expression has always evolved. The problem with my activities as an artist is how to get people to see my work. I'm not rich, so I needed some ingenuity to spread my work. We've solved them by using the Internet effectively, but it's not perfect yet. We will have to continue to deal with those problems.

Interview with Marina Lörwald

What is the meaning or creative inspiration for your work? We’re curious what the narrative or story is to what you are producing?

We humans are creative by nature. For me, painting is something that frees me from everyday constraints. It allows me to take a deep look at the questions of life and to understands our desires and aspirations – besides philosophy, religion, ethics, ethnology, sociology. To search, explore, create playfully - like a child. Ultimately, it’s about experiencing the world in a non-rational way and trying to understand it.

DID YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT YOU WANTED TO CREATE RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING?

Yes, the concept may be clear in my mind, and ideas may be there but I believe in the process of the becoming of the work. If I get out of the way, and stay quiet enough to tune in to my inner being, I then see the work unfolding with different eyes. There is great wisdom within us, so why not work together with this innate wisdom, than against it?
