Born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Roberta Marroquín is a renowned Mexican photographer. For nine years, Marroquín lived in Paris, a city famous for its photographic traditions, where she began her formal training as an artist. In 2008, after her residency in the City of Light, Marroquín moved to New York City to expand her vision through editorial, documentary, and artistic photography Inspired by the cosmo-vision of the indigenous peoples of Mexico, Marroquín specializes in the creation of timeless narratives for most of her artistic career. Marroquín’s first years in New York City certainly marked the beginning of an investigation in which the artist pursued with various series that clearly manifest Marroquín’s genuine interest in her project: With the development of various photographic series, she clearly showed a genuine interest to explore and record the manner in which certain peoples, geographical locations, and physical objects possess the ability to evade time, remaining unchanged for years and even centuries. Each series combines different elements and covers them with a layer of “pigments” in an effort to convey the feeling of eternity – a concept intrinsically linked to spiritual beliefs of ancestral cultures from Mexico. Marroquín’s deep respect for nature and her passion for philanthropy have taken her on countless trips. A curious woman of adventurous spirit, Marroquín is always in search of undiscovered places and new cultures — the sources of her inspiration. The artist has exhibited at prestigious venues such as ICP NY, the Arsenal of Venice (Italy), Mona Bismarck Foundation in Paris (France), and MARCO Museum of Monterrey (Mexico). Among other things, Marroquín was recognized as a finalist for the 2016 FEMSA Biennale in Mexico and collaborated in world wide philanthropic photographic projects with Tribal Trust Foundation (TTF) and En Classe.
