About Ancizar Marin

Born in Colombia, Marin first received formal art training in the 1980s at the ‘Bellas Artes’ Institute in Manizales, Colombia. Marin also studied sculpture at the Luccio Petraglia School of Art in Bogota, where he honed his proficiency in bronze and steel.

South American travel exposed him to the melting pot of cultural influences that altered his approaches to color and texture. Currently, Marin actively works in South Florida, showcasing his work in design magazines, gallery shows, and prestigious art fairs.

The figurative forms are relatively inexpensive, and allows collectors to purchase multiple sculptures at a time. This achieves Marin’s desire to encourage collectors to to engage the figures with one another in dynamic groupings. The goal is to attract the human eye and start a conversation of admiration and love for art.

What Ancizar Says About His Art

“Since my time in high school, sculpture has been an obsession and a fascination for me. The idea of molding three-dimensional forms, with contour, details and colors provides me endless creativity.

I have had the privilege of working with masters such as Fernando Botero. Being an artist sculptor has never been easy. However, I cannot describe the amount of joy, happiness, and peace that I feel when I am sculpting especially when working on a new idea.

I have developed an affinity for fiberglass and bronze as a medium. Such material provides me with infinite ways to express my ideas, my feelings, my desires, my thoughts, and the challenge of knowing how we the artists are very different.

That’s why I experiment with new techniques and finishes, including chrome, bronze, volcano rock, wood, resin, and fiberglass. I have been a recipient of many awards that have set me apart from other sculptors.

My intention is to capture the attention of other humans to stimulate a dialogue of love, admiration, knowledge, and feelings for art. My dreams are very clear and my most important wish is that my work will bring the same joy and happiness they bring to me. And that other people will love my pieces as much as I do.”
