Marina Páez, most well known as Morsh, is a Visual Artist born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, who currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
She works and masters quite diverse media raging from painting, industrial-like hand modelled ceramics, inflatable sculptures, installation, photography, to the use of technology.
Apart from her Bachelor of Fine Arts at the UNA (Universidad Nacional de las Artes), she has a big influence on her work from her previous study of Industrial Design at the UBA (Universidad de Buenos Aires).

Artist Statement
I am interested in the concept of identity and all its possible ways of construction:
through the places where we inhabit, the icons, the symbols, the stereotypes, the encounter of natural and artificial and the dichotomy between inner and outer worlds.
The different media, materials and colours used, also put an accent on this, and sometimes, a dystopic communion between material and image exist.
A thin line connects in a non-literal speech, the ways of expressing my perception of living in this world, exploring the value of everyday objects, massive production, the ephemeral and the long-lasting, in a clash of worlds that construct the contemporary being.
We inevitably find ourselves modified by an industrialised world, ruled by a plethora of images, where sex is just another form for power and control.
