Marcos Tamargo

Marcos Tamargo is a Spanish artist (Gijón, Spain, 1982) whose career has developed mainly through painting. He trained in Asturias and later continued his studies in New York, at The Art Students League and the School of Visual Arts. His work combines figuration and abstraction and maintains a close relationship with personal experiences, places, and memories.

His practice is known for the use of pigments, sand, earth, and other collected materials, which he incorporates into the pictorial surface to generate textures and connect material, memory, and territory. He also developed the MoveArt technique, which makes it possible to show two different images on the same support through changes in lighting. Since 2019, he has used this process in a series dedicated to women awarded the Nobel Prize.

He has presented exhibitions in public institutions such as the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, the Museo Infanta Elena, and the University of Oviedo. His work is also included in institutional holdings such as those of the University of Oviedo and the Princess of Asturias Foundation. Leer menos
