"Magic Rebellion to Create"
It will not be the first time that an artist of the visual arts becomes passionate
about turning his dream world towards the creation of accessories that, more than decorative pieces, turn out to be small sculptures that take shape on the bodies of men and women who wear them.
In this case, the necklaces, bracelets and earrings designed by the visual artist Marcos Carvajal summarize the daring, provocative and experimental nature, always in a process of change that characterizes his work in general. The textures, colors and materials whose result is a magical tropical landscape that, although with its seasons, always reveals its joyful nature and movement that never goes unnoticed. This collection is exciting, but it surely causes changes in the way we see a piece of art. A beautiful and magical rebellion that will illuminate the opportunity to know it, as it is the result of the artist's work that began during the years of the pandemic and continues to this day. These feelings and values poured into materials of diverse origins make us reflect that in the process of creation, the rebellion to change will always remain the beautiful thing we made. These small sculptural pieces to wear are unique pieces that will definitely bring light to whoever uses them. Marcos Carvajal presents and offers his decorative work in the clean figure of men's and women's attire, thus accentuating his maximum expression for his exhibition.

Artist's Statement
"My interests in the fine arts began in Cuba when I was a child. Initially, it was my father who influenced me in the development of artistic abilities, as well as in the visualization of reality and its spiritual dimension. Due to the knowledge acquired from him, I learned to make connections between self, material and spiritual realms.
"My commitment to the field of art was the driving force in the study of art history, education, and production using different media and technologies in the visual arts. In time, I discovered a large space with expanded dimensions for the expression of my visual and spiritual languages in an integrated manner - a language that expresses a state of harmony using colors, forms and textures".
