Art Career and Style

"Untitled (madness)", 1996, oil on canvas, Marina Núñez

Marina Núñez started showing her art in the early 1990s. In her early works, she often painted images of women that explored ideas about identity. She was interested in how women are seen and how they see themselves.

Over time, her art changed. In the 2000s, she began to mix her traditional oil painting with new digital tools. She used computers to create both still pictures and videos. Her art started to include themes from science fiction and horror. She also drew inspiration from medical images and older art styles like Baroque and Surrealism.

Marina Núñez's art often shows characters that are a mix of different things. These characters can be part human, part machine, or even part alien. They explore what it means to be human in a changing world. As philosopher José Jimenez once said about her work, it shows that "identity opens to the experience of change." This means we can be ourselves and also something new or different at the same time. Her art makes us think about how we are all a mix of many things.
