To me, my artwork is my fingerprint, it is who I am. I started drawing before I was six, and painting portraits at twelve years old. I want to move the viewer through my art: to laughter, to tears; to look inside themselves. My murals are about social and cultural subjects that show my love for people and beauty. My paintings are mostly portraits where I aim to capture not only the likeness but the the personality, the being. United States

Poema Receta Para Crear Un Pintor de Marié Rojas Tamayo
Para sentirnos pintores
No hace falta llamarnos Da Vinci o Picasso,
Más bien, necesitamos:
Tener 5 años por fuera o por dentro,
Una idea genial, incluso sin musas,Una tarde lluviosa que no permita ir al parque,
Una vestimenta vieja y cómoda
Que pueda embarrarse a gusto
(si se coloca al revés, da buena suerte).El espacio adecuado para nuestro despliegue,
Una lata con agua,
Colores brillantes,
Papeles, mejor aún si son poemas de otros,Los pinceles deben ser cuatro,
No pregunten por qué…
Algo de música siempre ayuda,
Una cinta para que no molesten los cabellos,
Dos manos.
Le añaden Mucha Alegría,
Un pizca de Concentración,
Un trocito de Magia.
Y se cocina todo a fuego rápido
En el perol de los sueños.
Se sirve al momento.
No tiene efectos secundarios.

Volunteer Caricatures
Caricatures speak the universal language of laughter, a languaje which is not limited by geographical boundaries or financial status. It is only limited to accessibility and exposure. I always wanted to share my drawing skills to make children smile. Every Wednesday I head out with my easel, paper, and colors to the Children's Mercy Hospital in my hometown, to draw sketches of the young patients, who enjoy getting their caricature drawn, happily getting involved in choosing a cartoon body according to their favorite hobby,sport, or hero.
