Born on September 22, 1963 in Michoacan, Jorge Marin is a contemporary sculptor. His father, being an architect, instilled a love for fine arts in him. He comes from a large family of ten siblings and moved to Mexico City when he was only seven years old. Marin studied Graphic Design at UNAM (1980) and then Art Restoration at Escuela Nacional de Conservacion, Restoracion, y Museographia in 1982.
He began with ceramic sculpture but for the past ten or more years has sculpted in bronze. Marin's work focuses on the human figure with centaurs, horses, masks, often balancing on basic shapes such as spheres. He incorporates drama and a baroque style in his creations.
