Male Climber #23 • Volcanic Rock, Fiberglass, Resin and Car Paint Sculpture •
Since his high school years sculpture has held a special place in Ancizar's life. The idea of being able to turn an idea into a sculpture just asserts how spectacular the human body can be. Ancizar has an affinity to fiberglass and bronze and loves the opportunity to experiment with different finishes. The goal is to attract the human eye and start a conversation of admiration and love for art.
Born in Colombia, Marin first received formal art training in the 1980s at the 'Bellas Artes' Institute in Manizales, Colombia. He continued to study sculpture at the Luccio Petraglia School of Art in Bogota, where he honed his sculptural proficiency in bronze and steel. Later, South American travel exposed him to the rich melting pot of cultural influences that further informed his approaches to color and texture.
