"There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality".
Pablo Picasso
The surreal cityscapes of Marchu Torres vibrate with bright colors, distinctive lines, and sense of childlike joy. Inspired by avant-garde artists such as Wassily Kandisnky, Torres focuses on the idea of the city its instead of its physical reality: how it can appear different people and how it can symbolize homes; families, and different cultures. In Marchu’s cityscapes the streets have no names; there is an evocation of exploration and mystery wherever you look.
