There are two worlds. One is the real world as we all know and the other
is Marcelo’s world. This unique artist brings into his particular world
ordinary characters from our day to day life, in other words his work is
a brief flash of this chaotic, sarcastic and mysterious universe. Everyone
of us are represented in his work, but to get the ticket to go inside of this
absurd land, all of us must face a complicated restriction and nobody is
allowed to go there wearing masks. There is not a safe place to be for
who loves contemplating their own figure on the mirror. By the way, I
don’t believe that someone wants to take a mindless ride in such place
where happiness is pathetic, hopeless and ingenuous. For those people I
would recommend just a brief look at the marvelous pictures that Marcelo
takes from this place. On the other hand for those who have a social and
artistic critical perspective I recommend to take a deep journey through MArrIAge, 2005 oiL on canvas 12x12 in /30x30 cm.
this world, it can be astonishing. Welcome to the real world. TAxI, 2005 oiL on canvas 12x12 in /30x30 cm.
