place of Mazarrón, of Susaña , and dates back many years ago to draw a parallel
to the evolution of our coastline over the years and the development of
intensive tomato crop under plastic greenhouses . " The Director of the UP

there is no trick in the pictures, the light is the sun or the simple bulbs
" , which surprised those present to find that no photo re-touching had

Mazarrón .
Meanwhile, Luis Marino explained that " this exhibition
is the result of a project conducted at the University Miguel Hernández of
Elche , after completing a degree in
Visual Arts Expertise , where a personal creative project is required for
obtaining the degree so I want to thank especially my teachers and mentors, who
have squeezed the most out of me. " The Mazarrón artist added, " and
what can be more personal than the first memories of my childhood attributed to
a mythical Susaña, a territory fraught with legends and archaeological
landmarks in which my grandfather had a piece of land where tomatoes were grown
."
Marino said " I tried to get those spaces and those
smells in my work , I tried to recreate the erosions of Bolnuevo , the smell of
wet sand, salt land and moons” and ended
his speech by thanking the Mayor of Mazarrón for its commitment Culture and
praising the efforts of the City to expand the municipal patrimony .
The Mayor of Mazarrón, Ginés Campillo, congratulated Luis
Marino " for this magnificent and impressive work ," adding that
"it is always gratifying the opening of an art show , but the satisfaction
is even greater if the exposure is signed by one of our best artists, plus it
will be the last I open in this term as Mayor, which makes it even more
special. " The Mayor also expressed pride " because the sample is
related to our land”.
