Juan Andrés Marin Forero

Juan Andrés Marín, born in Colombia in the year 2000 and based in Bogotá, is an artist who explores the dualities that shape human experience through painting. A graduate in Design from Universidad de los Andes (2019–2023), he developed an early interest in the intersection of aesthetics and human emotion, culminating in his thesis Tattoo Performance: Amina. In 2024, he completed a specialized program in Modern and Contemporary Art and Design at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), further refining his approach to integrating philosophical and artistic concepts into his work. Marín’s career includes exhibitions at the Circuito de Arte de Cartagena with Mercuria Gallery, the Feria del Millón, and recognition as an emerging artist at Galería Umbral. His artistic practice is deeply rooted in themes of family, origins, and the tension between beauty and suffering. Drawing on personal experiences and philosophical influences, his work seeks to provoke reflection and foster connections, creating spaces where the raw and the sublime coexist.
