Marcos Tamargo bio

With only forty years old, his art work is located in museums and particular collections such as The Hispanic Society Museum, National Heritage, European Organization for Nuclear Research, Princess of Asturias Awards, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation (MAEUEC), Infanta Elena Museum, etc, as well as galleries in the United States. Europa and South America. He counts with a constant and active participation in international art fairs, in cities like New York, Miami, Brussels, Geneva, London, etc.

Marcos Tamargo is a painter who works fundamentally in an abstract-figurative language, creating art pieces in which you can always feel a strong bond/ relation between his art work and his personal life. One of the most important and remarkable characteristics is the utilization and transformation of matter in the form of textures shown in different places or situations that he shows in his work, in order to put his essence in the canvas, in a palpable way.

Since 2019, he portrays distinguished the Nobel Prize Women, a project that counts with the collaboration of more than 20 institutions, among them it is worth mentioning: The Nobel Museum, Nobel Institute, The Embassy of the United States, The Embassy of Germany, UNESCO, among many others, coordinated by Rocaviva Events.  In order to achieve this, he uses his MoveArt technique, in which we can see two completely different art pieces in the same canvas, one under a natural light, and another one in the dark.

He is ambassador in Spain of the prestigious brand of paints Winsor & Newton.
