Marco Caridad: Since my childhood, I have enjoyed the plastic and dramatic arts. Over the years, my vocation and passion for the arts and graphic communications became more evident, so much so that I graduated as Graphic Designer and I worked at Grupo Últimas Noticias winning the Award of the Best Infographic in 2010. Then, I moved to Miami; looking forward to finding new projects that would allow me to test my talent and also to nourish myself from those experiences. I started as a photographic producer for the globally recognized campaign, "Got Milk?-Hispanics" and the Miami City Ballet; then as an art director for South Floridian companies such as Visit Florida and Simply Healthcare among others.

Apart from dedicating part of my professional career to the world of advertising and entertaining industry, I have also tried to make my way in the visual arts. In August 2016, a Venezuelan producer took my pictures and career to be a source of inspiration for "Sala Marco Caridad," this play premiered in Miami in 2016 counting my life and using my paintings as part of it.

I love to paint as therapy because with my paintings I am free, I can abstract from my reality and give myself completely freedom to the work and feelings. While some executives seek to relax with a glass of wine or whiskey, I do it with acrylics and canvas. My technique is mixed media; but in my compositions, I can not miss coffee (in any of its forms) and candle's paraffin. Since art is love, I use these elements because I think that the purest love in the universe is mother's love; so these items are what characterizes my mom. As Antonio Berni said, "Art is a response to life."
