Ltd Ed Black & White Surrealism Aquatint Etching, "The Key"
Working in black and white, Marina Pallares creates an enigmatic aquafortis and aquatint etching. She depicts a gentleman in a suit and top hat whose head is a padlocked cage filled with birds. A key is attached to the red cord that meanders from his heart to his hands. "The key is to open the mind, to give free rein to the thoughts or to let new ideas in," the Mexican artist explains. "I was inspired by the masters of surrealism, in this case, René Magritte. However, I've tried to give this print my own discourse, based on my own perception of life."

"Lovely little octopus!"
This is one of three pieces that I have bought of Marina Pallares work. I pretty much love all of her prints! This little octopus is super charming and makes me smile every time I look at it.

"“The Cat, Tequila Lotto”"
I recently received Marina Pallares “The Cat, Tequila Lotto” and couldn t be happier! Marina is a wonderfully clever artist whose works are thoughtful and in many ways unexpected. I have purchased several of her pieces, both for myself and as gifts, and will continue to do so.
