margo · outsider art
Margo is a website that is part of a hybrid platform that hosts outsider art.
This space hosts artworks that have been created under unique circumstances... pieces that tell of unusual experiences.
The project from which this virtual space was born has as its main objective to make visible the humans behind this singular art.

testimonials
Outsider art as a way of understanding human behaviour · Ismaël Chappaz (Gallerist)
"Outsider art artists often present unique and unusual perspectives that can challenge traditional artistic conventions..."
"Through his work I have been able to find a greater openness to a much more genuine diversity of ideas and artistic visions..."
The importance of learning to unlearn · Kevin Prieto (Artist)
"Being marginal and being out of system it brings you to a point where your creativity leads you to discover, to explore and that you are a little bit..."
"Art is really about expressing what you feel or what you want about certain things that interest you, no matter if you have a mental disorder or a cognitive problem..."
margo project
Outsider art, characterised by the authenticity and creativity of self-taught artists working outside the traditional art system, has captured the imagination and hearts of many.
However, it often remains on the margins, without the recognition and visibility it deserves.
This hybrid project aims to change this by providing a platform where these unique voices can be heard and their work appreciated by a global audience.
I work on the design, layout and visual presentation to ensure that each piece fits perfectly into the overall format of the project.
I aim to give voice to the stories and experiences represented in outsider art, promoting a deeper understanding and appreciation for the cultural diversity and artistic uniqueness of these artworks.
