Yunior Marino   New & remarkable Artists

This mesmerizing artwork features a dynamic explosion of color radiating from a central black void, creating a captivating visual vortex. The swirling patterns, reminiscent of fiery tendrils, span a vivid spectrum—each hue seamlessly blending into the next. The artist skillfully employs a variety of tones—bold reds, deep blues, vibrant yellows, and lush greens—each infused with an energy that seems almost alive. The contrast between the dark center and the vivid outer colors heightens the composition's depth and intensity. The fluid, flame-like forms evoke a sense of movement and transformation, inviting viewers to explore the interplay between chaos and harmony. This piece stands out for its ability to capture motion in a static medium, embodying both the urgency and calmness of a cosmic dance. It serves as a testament to the artist's mastery of color theory and abstract form, making it an unforgettable visual experience.

Yunior Marino completed his studies at the Instituto Superior de Artes de Cuba before settling in Miami. Marino, an artist in every sense of the word, works not only as a visual artist but also as a musician and designer.

He seeks by all means to investigate the universal questions of the cosmos, nature, and time. He has captivated audiences with the colorful details of his painting, the moody, ethereal melodies of his music, and the directness of his photography.

He conceives the creation of his paintings as mantras, in the sense that by repeating the same action, his mind empties completely.

The act of painting becomes a form of meditation. Marino explains that the time and process of creating work are at the core of what the painting wants to mean, declaring: that is how they were made, they are what they are. Marino frames the art of creation simply by fixing what we have once destroyed. He actively uses his past and the concept of the passage of time with universality to heal his present and future. For Yunior, the art of creating has no restrictions on the insular "being", but encompasses the larger universe, his paintings represent what "we are" and not only what we are as a race but "us" as a whole. He has worked in different countries and has exhibited extensively in Canada, the United States, Mexico, and Cuba.
