In 2017, Álvaro Marzán moved to Luxembourg and since his arrival he participated in many collective events such as "Intro-Pain-ng 2.0" (Galerie Beim Engel), several editions of "KonschTour" (Vianden), "Troc'n'Brol" (Rotondes) or "SandBox8".
In 2018, he obtained the status of artist by the Ministry of Culture of Luxembourg, which led him to work as a guest artist at Schläiffmillen - Résidence d'artistes (2019-2020). He will present his first solo exhibition in 2020 in Luxembourg (Kulturhaus Niederanven).
In this beautiful momentum, Álvaro Marzán is appointed associate artist of Neimënster and presents the exhibition Space and Desire. He also participates in a creative residency with the support of the Neistart grant from the Ministry of Culture.
Presentation of his works:
"I use painting as a vehicle for emotionality. I use it as a tool to express the forces of the unconscious for scenes, figures or objects that refer to an immaterial world of symbolic situations.
The objects and beings of our usual cosmos are the actors of these stories. From our perceptions, I choose elements charged with emotional content. In the process of abstraction, the being loses its concretion characteristic and it becomes possible to speak of its metaphysical quality instead of its physical condition.
The law of this game is to use the object, to break it, to see what it contains, to reverse it, to merge it with others, to create signs, new, primary and unique beings".
