What if you spent every day looking for One Beautiful Thing?

Are We Done Here?

Maruki Maremotto

These are the watercolor-and-ink paintings by Mar Herrero, the artist behind the brand Maruki Maremotto. Herrero’s intention is to present women in their own spaces, where they feel comfortable, being entirely themselves. Though they are fairly simple drawings, I am tickled by all the character that comes through in her subjects, like they are slightly irritated by our presence and just want to get back to what they were doing.

In addition to paper and canvas art, Atelier Maremotto also produces silk scarves, bamboo diaries and notebooks, pens, and ceramics, all emblazoned with Herrero’s colorful, impactful illustrations.

You can check out all the women of Maruki Maremotto on the brand’s website and on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

. ~~Hoy te miré. Directamente. Sin filtros. Vi tu belleza. Tu pelo revuelto. Esos gemelos cerrando tus puños… Y mis ganas abriendo tu camisa. Tu arrogancia, tu chulería. Tu miedo. Y me muero por romper tus esquemas y saltarte tus normas. Y es verano… …y eres Julio. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ __plumilla, acuarela y txt.

. ~~Palabras. Cuando eramos pequeños nos enseñaron las palabras, los sonidos. Un lenguaje. A algunos dos, a otros tres… Nos entendíamos. Cuando creces, Lo notas, Es sutil. A veces, pasa desapercibido. Pero… Nos faltan palabras. O. Peor. Se quedan atascadas en nuestras gargantas. Gabriel, que es médico, dice que por eso duele. Por las palabras atascadas. ¿Qué tienes que decir?. ¿Qué palabras tienes atascadas?. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ __Acuarela, plumilla, tinta china y txt.

. ~~Tus ojos…tu forma de verme…¿Se puede guardar una mirada, así, en un bote, al vacío?. Para abrirlo en un día gris, un día lluvioso, de esos con niebla en el alma. En los que te ves pero no te encuentras. Guardaría tu mirada. Al vacío. Para siempre. Y solo para mi. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ __Dibujo y texto maruki maremotto.

    These are absolutely fabulous! I love the looseness of the mark making and the way the artist has allowed the media to puddle and bloom (because that’s my way of working with liquid media too) and I love the personality of the illustrations too. I find I am especially drawn to the ones that are monochrome with a single splash of colour (maybe again because that’s a thing I do). I am going to follow this artist on Instagram so thanks for bringing this artist to my attention.
