Artist Profile
Spanish photographer Garcia de Marina (Gijon * 1975) is a master of conceptual photography. It was only a few years ago that he gave up his job to devote himself entirely to his real calling; to become a photographer. Not to capture portraits or landscapes, but imaginative staging of everyday things. By giving them a completely different meaning than their original one, he creates humorous, poetic and sometimes oppressive photographs – he transforms simple everyday objects in an original way into a surprising work of art. He always records his minimalist installations from the best possible angle and dispenses with any image processing. His photos spread quickly through social networks and within just a few months, Garcia de Marina became a sought-after artist. In the meantime his work has been published in Germany and abroad, he has already been invited to numerous festivals, received numerous awards and is now considered one of the most important “visual poets”. Garcia de Marina lives and works in Spain.
