Marcelo Suaznabar

El Paseo

Nace en Bolivia
Vive y trabaja en Canadá

Un artista con una pasión por el surrealismo, sus obras a veces controversiales, contienen mucho significado oculto e interpretativo. Sus obras se vuelven punto focal del espacio atrayendo al expectador a descubrir lo que hay detrás del dibujo.
Sus primeras Obras se centraron en gran medida en temas religiosos. Esta primera fase de su carrera duró más de 5 años, influenciada por artistas barrocos coloniales como el maestro boliviano de Calamarca, Melchor Perez de Holguin, el artista italiano Bitti, entre otros. Luego, descubrió la fuerza y el lenguaje del color. Esto lo llevó a una segunda fase que él llama la fase del “Apocalipsis” y posteriormente, la fase del “Altiplano Mágico”. Su influencia provino principalmente de Bruegel, Bosch, Carringnton, Dalí, Kahlo y Remedios Varo, por nombrar algunos.
La repetición del paisaje del altiplano boliviano es evidente en su obra. El paisaje de su infancia y el recuerdo de ese paisaje lo persiguen: es mágico, con gran poder y energía. Las imágenes en las pinturas de Marcelo son caprichosas, complejas y surrealistas. Estas imágenes se le aparecen al azar y él las dibuja para no perder el fantasma.

Continua participación en Ferias Internacionales tales como: Miami International Art Fair, TIAFAR Feria International de Toronto Canadá; ARWI International, Puerto Rico; ARTEXPO New York; ARTEXPO Atlanta.
