MARIE *M20241217 Mixed media Canvas 200 X 140 centimeters (78 X 55 Inches) 2024 An ode to the Art Academy The “Mar I.A. ” series presents the same face from a reimagined portrait, a subject that might initially seem repetitive. However, through the repeated recreation of this image, the artist seeks not only to revisit a moment in time but also to relive the experiences of their years as a student in Europe. These recreations explore how those formative experiences have blended with their native culture, forging a new identity in the present. This series employs simple materials, such as colored pencils and graphite on raw canvas, prepared with a single sealing layer, leaving behind fingerprints and other marks that reflect the process. In 1998, René Serrano captured a portrait of his friend Marie as part of his analog photography laboratory course. This portrait now serves as the foundation for a new composition, interwoven with a selection of figures, hairstyles, clothing, and othe...
