Ancizar Marin was born in 1968 in Columbia. His uncle, a painter, introduced Ancizar to art, where he was instantly captivated by the passion art produces. He enrolled into the Bellas Artes Institute of Art in Manizales, Columbia in 1982, beginning a life-long journey through the arts. In 1985, Marin continued on in his studies at the Luccio Petraglia School of Art in Bogota, Columbia, an institution once attended by the famed sculptor and painter, Fernando Botero. While attending this prestigious institution, Marin focused and specialized in sculpture. Marin has continued to develop his knowledge of sculpture and art by studying in Spain, Italy, Venezuela and the United States. He states, “The mixture of cultures has helped me realize that there are multiple tastes when it comes to shapes and colors in art. That’s why I sought a need to improvise and work at the creation and development of different styles, designs, and techniques such as bronze and chrome, bronze and glass, and my latest technique bronze, resin and ceramic.” Marin creates his colorful wall climbers, winter athletes, koi fish, and many more motifs from fiberglass and lava rock. Each one is individually hand-glazed and can be customized in color. Symbolic to rock climbers, the colorful climbers repel down the wall with a fully adjustable nine-foot cable, while his other sculptures attach directly to any wall, giving you the option of creating the perfect art installation. The figurative athletic forms are financially approachable, allowing collectors to acquire multiple sculptures for a dynamic display in their home. Their various poses allow the figures to engage with one another in groupings that can be arranged and rearranged at will. While Ancizar Marin’s colorful climbers have long been his most noted series, he has been working the last few years on bicyclists, winter athletes, koi fish, and other interactive poses. With the option to have beautiful, multicolored fish swimming up the wall or a skier riding the slopes, his wall sculptures capture everyday life in a bright, whimsical fashion. Now living and working in Florida, he continues to experiment with multiple textures and techniques while building on his impressive catalogue of colorful wall sculptures.
