Ep 60 / Chatting with Mari Quiñonero about making a living from art

The month of February in Madrid is art month, in which the ARCO fair takes place and the entire city and galleries show the works of its best artists to the visitors, buyers and curators who flood the city. For this reason , Mari Quiñonero and the Échale Guindas gallery have joined forces in the project The Tiny Art Fair , of which we are also patrons and exhibitors.

As Mari says, we were destined to be there, although I must admit that if it had not been for her, and for Oscar Sánchez Lozano from La Eriza, I would not have dared to take zubi to art, a little further and better.

Mari talks to us about this project in the podcast, about her personal project exhibiting around the world and about The Very Bitches, who help greyhound shelters with financing, and about living several lives in one. His energy is contagious, and his humility is a breath of fresh air in this world so accustomed to posturing and showing that you are more than you seem.

Mari came to art by chance, more out of desire than because she thought it was a business, and for her it is a change that is the best thing in her life. The Girl with the Turban is perhaps her best-known work for now, but with Color and Vacuum she sold out at her last fair, and it is what has led her to evolve with new techniques and even to a gallery in New York where in March she will present his first international solo exhibition.

The good thing is that this has only just begun, and that Mari has a bright future ahead of her.
