About the artwork
This work features two figures, seated and embracing in the grass. One is a skeleton and the other is the famous MARA character, whose face has been replaced by an "X", creating an aura of mystery and anonymity. It is through the universality of this character, with whom everyone can identify, that MARA can convey messages about contemporary social and political realities. In this work, MARA questions love and its relationship with time.
Expert opinion
This work is typical of MARA's work in its use of the "X" face character.
About the artist
Born in Morocco in 1995, MARA is an artist living and working in France. After studying visual communications, he decided to devote himself fully to his passion, drawing his knowledge and inspiration from observing the city, graffiti, torn posters and the works of street artists. Today, this urban influence is reflected in his creations, where brutalism and street art aesthetics merge with more traditional techniques. MARA's style is a complex blend of various artistic currents. His work is characterized by the use of a character with an X for a face. One of MARA's strengths lies in his ability to comment on contemporary social and political realities through his art. MARA has produced works in several other cities, including Paris, Meknes, Florence, Berlin, Rio de Janeiro and New York.
