Year: 2023

Artist's Reflection:
"Days full of life and soft sensations, that the days of warmth never end"
 
Mar Delio, an Illustrator based in Mexico City, is known for their exploration of the queer experience across a variety of mediums. Their work is a reflection of the diverse cultural landscape that surrounds them, weaving together abstract and contemporary elements into a tapestry of sapphic surrealism.
 
With a commitment to transcending conventional boundaries, Mar employs vivid paintings, and experimental mixed-media creations. Each piece serves as a narrative, inviting viewers to step into a world where reality and imagination merge seamlessly. Alice in Wonderland meets a curious, other worldly WLW haze. Motifs of flowers, embrace, bondage, insects- we are invited to re-evaluate our relationship with nature, and desire.
 
Mar's exploration of sapphic themes is a celebration of love and identity, challenging societal norms and creating a space for diverse narratives. Their art is a testament to the fluidity of expression, breaking free from societal constraints to offer a glimpse into a realm where emotions, dreams, and realities intertwine.
