Marena García Born and raised in the Canary Islands, for years, she portrayed stones, layers of strata, lava surfaces and textures through photography, especially macro, going deep inside of the materials. Always in touch with visual languages and after finishing her bachelor's degree in Graphic Design in Barcelona, she travelled to scenic spots, such as Lanzarote or Iceland, places where she immersed herself in nature. Innately and self-taught, she began to experiment with natural materials, creating her own organic pigments, which led her to the development of her artistic project.

Marena García - who lives and works between Barcelona and a village close to nature - is inspired by the place where she lived as a child, by nature, especially volcanic landscapes. She says she is fascinated by the influence of arid, wild and stark beauty, which is directly reflected in her work. Faithful to the texture, she paints on large wooden board formats as the right support for introspection.

She’s fascinated by El Teide and its lunar landscapes, as well as by Lanzarote and Fuerteventura’s minimalist landscapes, defined by their strong character and purity. Her work, plastic geology, is related to the nudity of the landscape. It is characterized by the use of sand and natural pigments, clays, stones, ashes, mud and layers of layers that give it nuances and tactile textures. This mixed technique, the continuous experimentation with materials, concrete, paper, fabrics, among others, give three-dimensionality to the paintings with a chromatic palette with earth colors: tan, ocher, orange, brown, gray and black colors.

Marena García work, plastic geology, is based on the development of a close relationship with raw materials.She seeks to establish connections between traditional methods and contemporary art contexts. Marena celebrates ancient materials, working intuitively and impulsively on her knees with a palette in her hand, using humble building materials as a medium or her own hands. Mainly with earth pigments, clay, sand, ashes and charcoal, texture appears as one of the protagonists of his work. Abstraction and minimalism define her performance, synthesizing the landscape, sensations, emotions and intimate relationships with the environment.
