MARTIN RENTERIA
MARTIN RENTERIA starts with the body and creates rituals, where actions, objects and atmospheres provoke all kind of interpretations of the same reality. He plays with universal concepts such as space, power, balance, time, uncertainty, human-being essence and the urgency to establish genuine relationships, by means of symbols that cause reactions and reflections in every spectator. Concerned with evolution, Renteria�s work invites us to analyze present time from which emanates questions about the soul and the planet�s destination, and to undertake ways towards higher conscience levels.
He is a multidisciplinary artist who also works in sculpture, painting, installation and performance art - such as spectacular wearable art and machines of his own design. He has created the proper language to expresses his vision of the world.
With MARTIN RENTERIA�S more than twenty years of professional career in contemporary art, the quality of his work has lead him to represent Mexico in international festivals in Spain, USA, Italy, Slovakia, Canada, Argentina, Hungary, Finland, China and Mexico
