Marllha Zertuche
Between art, nature, and transformation.
Between art, nature, and transformation, her work proposes another way of looking at what surrounds us: finding beauty, meaning, and new possibilities in what we have stopped seeing.
Practice
Marllha Zertuche is a multidisciplinary artist whose work is born from curiosity, nature, and the desire to transform.
Through wood, glass, and other objects recovered from the sea, she explores the history contained in what the ocean returns, and the beauty that remains in those materials. In her pieces, the force of the sea and the devastation of time meet artistic intervention to give rise to something entirely new.
