Beyond the Self towards Awakenting

Hi, I’m Mar Bilbao, a self-taught painter and contemporary artist based in Barcelona, Spain.
My work is an evolving journey beyond the visible, exploring the transformative power of color, symbolism, and emotion.
Rather than simply representing reality, I create paintings that invite reflection, inner awakening, and new ways of seeing.

Welcome To My Website

This is a journey towards a deeper understanding of myself through painting.

I am a self-taught artist and have been painting since childhood. This website traces the evolution of my work – from my early figurative paintings to a more symbolic language, shaped by a series of artistic phases and an ongoing process of transfromation.

Symbolism is an art form that seeks a visual expression to concepts that are not physical or tangible- such as ideas, spirituality, the realm beyond our physical existence, or transformation.
