Sobre Mar Solís
The artistic work that I have been developing for 25 years assumes a certain plastic uncertainty. The light lines that form my works translate into a visually unstable balance produced by the apparent movement of the strokes and the way they are assembled. The study of tensions and weights is defining in my work.
