Dana Marín
Born in Valencia (Spain) in 1975
Her works are characterised by capturing the trace of the ephemeral, where forms and textures become imprints of the body and memory.
For Dana Marín, her art focuses on representing movement through form and texture. She believes that artistic beauty lies in achieving a graceful representation of the simple — like capturing a fragile curve in rigid, brittle materials.
Dana does not seek the body itself, but its trace and absence. In clay, fabric or other materials, she transforms the ephemeral into a tangible presence. Her works use form as the language of the body without showing it. She longs for clay to recall suspended movement, like a fabric abandoned by the body — a hardened echo of a gesture.
Marks and traces fascinate her. She describes them as “stoped movement that seems to breathe. They are time, memory and emotion — fragility and strength at once. The forms are not merely a physical fold, but a gesture, a captured memory, they are life.”
