Eduardo Marquéz
Eduardo Márquez overlaps the world of art and equestrianism, creating a body of work that ranges from paintings (using techniques such as oil on linen, graphite, watercolor and charcoal on paper), to sculptures.
Eduardo had a traditional up bringing in Cali, Colombia, where his early work and artistic inspiration began to take shape. He attended the Massachusetts Collegeof Art and Design, where, as he likestosay: “the academic and artistic inputs from extraordinary professors not only helped me sharpen my technique, but also opened my mind to the infinite world of international art. This was priceless to me as a young painter.”
From an early age, the artist was immersed in anamazingly stimulating environment in the Pacific region of the country called Valle del Cauca, famous for its sugar cane plantations, salsa music, Paso Fino horses, and a particularly rich mixture of cultures. All of these elements have a palpable influence in his works.
A passionate horse breeder himself, the artist’s latest body of work delves into the exploration of this magnificent animal as an artistic subject, together with the equestrian scenery and its singular lifestyle. The result is an intricate mix of exploration and inspiration, ultimately finding their way into artistic expression.
“I am fascinated by the years and even decades of intricate preparations and coordinated team efforts that make events such as a single polo game even possible. No matter the hardships, the result is always worthy, fulfilling and memorable for all those that can be present and enjoy such a spectacle. I am proud to take part of such a tradition, and feel my self committed through my work to promote horses as aneverlasting symbol of freedom, strength, speed, loyalty, love, and beauty with out boundaries.”
