The AD Infinitum collection by contemporary Spanish painter Pedro Martinez Marin, known as Mainman, is deeply influenced by the literary and cinematic genre of science fiction, falling somewhere in the spectrum of futuristic narratives. Mainman's body of work reveals a fascinating tension between contrasting elements: futurism and realism, the galactic and the dystopian, the abandoned and the relic. These dualities infuse his creations with a dynamic quality, inviting viewers to explore the intersections between imagined futures and tangible realities. This captivating work is an explosion of geometric shapes and vibrant colors, creating a remarkable visual dynamism. Triangles, circles, and rectangles intersect, forming a complex network of lines and angles, while vibrant hues of pink, blue, green, and yellow blend seamlessly. The symmetrical patterns and bold contrasts immediately draw the eye, inviting the viewer to explore every corner of the painting. The clever use of negative space accentuates the depth and balance of the composition. This painting transcends simple abstraction by evoking a sense of energy and perpetual motion, transforming the ordinary into a ballet of shapes and colors.

Presentation

MAINMAN (Pedro Martinez Marín) Mainman is an artist born in Barcelona.

Much of her work is inspired by nature, the fragility of its beauty and its vulnerability as a metaphor for the transience of our existence, as nothing is imperishable.

Experience the tension between chaos and control. You get rid of boundaries by using unconventional materials. He feels that he is developing as if he wanted to discover a new beginning with a very personal, improvised and expressive language, also linked to the very concept of modern civilization being questioned. Fold the paint with brushstrokes and smudges that manifest strong emotional content. This process is for Martinez Marin like a catharsis of life, a wild celebration of freedom.

He is interested in human nature, in particular its rejection of the abuse of power. Uses the figure as a means of analyzing or rather researching and challenging contemporary ideas about the racial, sexual or social identity of the community, society, emphasizing the physical reality of the body and above all the importance psychological aspects that determine it.

He currently resides between Barcelona and Vejer de la Frontera (Cádiz).

He studied at Eina (Design Grafico. Barcelona 1990-92), Industrial School of Barcelona (Jewellery. 1995-96). Barcelona Academy of Art (Painting and drawing 2017-2019). Alas. (Masters in "Body and Art", Barcelona. 2016-2017).

He is also a certified therapist by the Co-Active Training Institute (San Francisco, USA), Strozzi Institute (San Francisco, USA).
