To fully understand the series of photos Matilde Marin is currently presenting at Del Infinito Arte, we must start with the definition of the artistic movement born in Russia by 1915, focused on geometric figures. Its main artist was Kasimir Malevich (Ukraine, 1879-Russia, 1935) and his own words are the best way to put it: “I transformed myself in the zero of form and emerged from
nothing to creation, that is, to Suprematism, to the new realism in painting -
to non-objective creation”.
Thus, from her perception of the world and her memories of Suprematism, Matilde Marin takes a photo and then retouches it or projects over it some of the shapes used by Malevich, such as the black square, the white circle, the rectangle or the triangle. We perceive then that the shapes of Suprematism can be seen everywhere.

Matilde travelled around the world to the most diverse landscapes (from Melbourne, Berlin and Guernsey Island to Santiago de Compostela) and in them she saw Malevich's geometrical shapes.

It's as if Malevich had toured the landscapes right after Marin and seen geometric shapes in Nature and daily-life situations. Probably we all tend to relate what we see with geometric shapes. In fact, Malevich is quite sure this is so: “Our thought moves, because the stimulus moves and, with their movements, both create real concepts. In that creative process, the real becomes reality..."
