PACO
MARCÓ
ORDER & CAOS
Like a married couple seeking constant conciliation for the survival of being. They are like thought and voice, one feels and the other behaves. It is the difference between what one is and what one should be. It is the binary eternal balance. It is the divine need to be able to understand good and evil, white and black. They are forced extremes that leave endless colors, shades and nuances in their wake. Thanks to this we are, we understand, we love and we suffer. This is where communication is born, the power to unite two extremes to reach a middle point. The chaos trapped in a support that gives it order and the imprisoned order containing the chaos. They always have been and always will be.

In an innocent look at life, we realize that it is not perfect, sometimes it breaks or twists. But whenever we encounter an event that takes us out of our comfort zone, the universe gives us tools to move forward. The present is a gift, that is why it is called “PRESENT” and sometimes it does not come packaged as we would like. In a naive way, my concept or tool is the ladder. The ladder is an artifact (made with art) that allows us to reach a level that we normally can’t reach. The ladder represents that opportunity, that window of hope, not only material or physical, but also emotional and spiritual. Any time life presents you with a ladder, it can be in any form. A ladder can be a phone call from your brother, a tender kiss at noon, or a loan from a friend. The point is to be able to identify those ladders and realize that we can always go up and move on.
Always ahead
Neither loneliness nor rancor have defeated me. I have not stopped to look at any wounds that there are still colored stones on the beach of my life.
My Grand Father’s poem. Lluis Marcó i Dachs
Sempre Endavant
Ni soledat no m’ha vençut ni rencors, no m’he aturat a mirar-me cap ferida, que encara hi ha pedres de colors a la platja de la meva vida.
Poema del meu Avi. Lluis Marcó i Dachs

ABOUT ME
I was born in Barcelona on November 12th, 1973, I dedicated myself to the world of design. I graduated from Escuela Superior de Diseño Elisava in 1996, with a BA with Honors in Design from the University of South Hampton as well. In 1993 I exhibited for the first time in a restaurant in the upper part of Barcelona. In 1998 I went to Mexico D.F. where I started my career as an art director. That same year I exhibited in one of the most important architecture studios in Mexico City. In the following 14 years I devoted myself almost exclusively to my profession. Having won all the most important international awards of my profession I decide to give a more important space to my passion, art.
