J Martin Esion Kaplan, AKA mardeformas. Buenos Aires, 1993.
His training as an architect marked the beginning of his journey in search of new forms of expression. He embarked on creation as a sculptor of ideas giving life to new worlds, merging the tangible with the imaginary.
His restlessness led him on a journey from solid structures and geometric shapes to the infinite realms of digital creation, where he now navigates.
After graduating from the FADU at the University of Buenos Aires, he ventured into the world of digital art. There, here, together with a group of artists – the Cryptoarg collective – among virtual brushes and computer-generated worlds, she discovered endless possibilities to express the visions bubbling inside her.
Their creative process is a journey in which the barriers between the material and the intangible intertwine, break and mutate. From scanning objects and bodies in 3D, taking them from reality to overturning them and immersing himself in Virtual Reality glasses, he sculpts and plays with these fragments of organic figures in the vast canvas of pixels: It is like making an anthropomorphic collage where the palpable rubs shoulders with the digital, and at each step, these sculptures take on a life of their own, wandering between these blurred boundaries to then materialize them again in our reality through 3D printing.
The hand becomes the protagonist of his works. The hand as tool, as medium, as action. It is through his gestures that the essence of these creations come to life, capturing the unique dance of substance and ethereality.
This cybernetic place is not just an art gallery, but a window into this creative odyssey. Here you can explore and, if you wish, take with you, a part of this journey.
The virtual store houses creations that have evolved along the way to physical materialization in the form of unique design objects.
So, without further ado, welcome to this digital corner where borders blur, ideas intertwine, and the hand becomes the narrator of stories sculpted between pixels and atoms.
