García de Marina's "Nail Polish" from 2016 is a striking piece that cleverly juxtaposes everyday objects to create a thought-provoking visual. The artwork features a single, vertical composition where a burnt cigar is topped with a glossy, red-painted fingernail, creating an unexpected fusion of elements. The vivid red of the nail polish contrasts sharply with the muted brown tones of the cigar, drawing the viewer's eye to the top of the image. This digital print, executed with pigmented ink on 310 gram Canson Infinity Rag Photographique cotton paper, measures 40x90 cm and is both signed and numbered by the artist, adding a personal touch to the piece. The simplicity of the gray background enhances the surreal quality, allowing the viewer to focus on the peculiar yet captivating combination of the cigar and the nail, inviting interpretations on themes of beauty, consumption, and transformation.
