MARCOS TAMARGO
He is a Spanish plastic artist born in Gijón, Asturias (1982). He is one of the most outstanding artists of the Spanish painting scene, since with just thirty seven years old, he already has several works exhibited in world-class museums of the stature of The Hispanic Society Museum, as well as in galleries around the world.
He has a constant and active participation in international art fairs, in cities such as New York, Miami, Brussels, Geneva, Karlsruhe... Being present in more than ten a year. As a complement to this promising career, Marcos Tamargo is in charge of portraying the winners of the Prince of Asturias Award, as well as His Majesty King Philip.
Marcos Tamargo is a painter who works mainly an abstract- figurative language, creating especially vital works because they are intimately linked to his personal life. One of its most important and identifiable features is the use and transformation of matter in the form of textures, collected in the different places or situations of which its work speaks, in order to capture on the canvas the rightful essence of the material, in a palpable way. Regarding its technique, it includes all conventional registers: oil, acrylic, enamels on all types of media (paper, canvas, board ...)

In addition to technical techniques, Marcos Tamargo is the
creator of a new contribution to painting that he calls himself
Moveart. It is about two different works on the same canvas, one visible in a conventional way and the other appearing only under a black light. In this way, a single work can show a land- scape, and when the light is out, it changes dramatically to produce, for example, a portrait.
Since 2019, he has been selected to portray all the women that won the Nobel Prize. The Nobel Museum, Nobel Institute, European Union, the USA Embassy and the German Embassy are some of the institutions that sponsored this project.
He is the brand ambassador for the prestigious Winsor & Newton.
