[2] In his early works, Marin's utilized clay from traditional, pre-colonial sources, including Oaxaca and Pátzcuaro.

[6] Marin is known to intentionally leave marks on his sculptures with his fingers or palette knife, as opposed to smoothing them over.

Due the lack of perfectionism, his images are meant to focus on the more gritty side of the human condition.

Marin believes that it is important to keep diversity in the facial features, since his goal is to convey humanity as a whole and not one specific individual.

The tapestries are made with a Gobelin style technique while the rugs are woven in a traditional Tibetan knot.
