Ancizar Marin's climber sculptures and installations, for which he is best known, composed of fiberglass and resin, and finished to a high gloss with car paint in a dazzling array of hues, continue to delight all who encounter them scaling walls, rappelling down windows, leaning against columns, and perching on lintels. Evoking teams of rock climbers, window washers, fish, birds and circus performers, suspended high above ground on screws or wires that are looped, lassoed, and threaded about them, engaged in gravity-defying feats, the active forms charm young and old, reminding one that art is not always intended to intellectually challenge viewers. 
 
Indeed, Marin hopes that audiences will experience nothing more complicated than pleasure through movement, color, and form. His philosophy pays homage to the Matissean credo that art should be joyful, devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter, and appeal to everyone.
