I first fell in love with Marcelo’s art while living in Santiago, Chile, while scouring the few commercial galleries in the city, mainly found in the smart neighbourhood of Vitacura, where I came across Marcelo on the wall of Galería Isabel Animat and I was immediately struck by the simplicity yet mesmerising depth, the texture and the layers, the confidence, the colour palettes and aesthetic beauty, whatever it was, it stopped me in my tracks, and made my mind wonder.
