MAREO
MONOLITH III
FLOOR SCULPTURE
Monolith III unfolds as a vertical sculpture by multidisciplinary artist Mareo, where a fissure of raw texture interrupts the sleek polished surface. The contrast between the fractured core and the pristine geometry suggests a dialogue between strength and vulnerability, concealment and revelation. Materials are transformed into a symbolic portal, inviting the viewer to perceive absence as presence. With its commanding scale and meditative aura, the piece resonates as both a sculptural object and a spiritual marker within any contemporary space.

About the artist
MAREO
MAREO (Mario Rodríguez Echeverry, b. 1981) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice unfolds between painting, sculpture, digital media, and large-scale installations. His work navigates the intersection of nature, light, and spiritual transformation, often creating immersive environments where perception becomes experience.
Educated in architecture, design, and fine arts across Medellín, Barcelona, and Buenos Aires, Mareo has developed an international career marked by solo exhibitions, public art projects, and festival presentations. His works have been shown in Europe, Asia, North America, and the Middle East, from monumental land art pieces in Italy and light installations in Malta and Istanbul, to site-specific projects in Beijing and Hungary.
Mareo’s artistic language combines architectural precision with a profound sensibility toward immateriality. Light, scale, and materiality are used as tools to question the limits between the physical and the spiritual, the visible and the invisible. His installations, whether ephemeral or permanent, become thresholds that invite contemplation and transformation.
Today, Mareo continues to expand his exploration of form and perception, creating works that reveal the energy hidden within space and matter, and affirming his place among the most intriguing voices of contemporary art.
