We had the good fortune of connecting with Jesus Marin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jesus, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
My artistic instinct born at an early age as my first mural was a drawing of Fred Flintstone face in crayon on my living room wall. I has pursued my artistic aspirations with the biggest support of my mom that saw her little 5-year-old drawing on the wall like an expert and allowed me freestyle in my bedroom. And so, I was a muralist and artist since the first grade. Since them I don’t stop, is a need to express my feelings and emotions. I believe
that behind each piece is a story to tell, a vision to complete, a mission to create and make a mark in our planet with my art and my💕heart!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I moved to Orlando, Florida from Puerto Rico for a new challenge. I wanted to continue my professional career as an Artist and Art Educator also work in my skills such as woodwork, resin art, clay, and plaster.
My Conceptual sculptures are pieces with deep messages The most intention behind my craft is telling a story with any material possible.

My Angels( Brand)
Im dealing with the human healing process during an emotional and physical loss.
Healing is highlighted by my Angels, with a focus on our profound pain and the methods for coping with such a difficult time. Time is essential, as each type of loss, including the loss of loved ones, friends, pets, and personal belongings, emphasizes our heavy pain and requires its own specific healing period.
Five Angels done…… goal is twelve!!
