Proto Marín is the creative expression of Dominic Marín — a German/Honduran designer whose work lives at the intersection of two worlds. Raised on Bauhaus precision and the fluid ease of the Caribbean, Dominic approaches each piece as a design practice: an exploration of form, placement, and motion.
The result is resort swimwear that feels found rather than made. Considered, unhurried, and built to last well beyond a single season.
Dominic's heroes don't belong to a single discipline — they belong to a way of seeing. Prince, who made genre a cage and walked out of it. Basquiat, who turned raw feeling into architecture. Rothko, whose color fields asked you to stand still until something shifted inside you. Gerhard Richter, painting and unpainting in the same breath. Frank Lloyd Wright, who believed a building should grow from its site like something living. Yves Saint Laurent, who dressed women in power before power was fashionable. Alejandro Iñárritu, whose films move the way grief and beauty do — simultaneously. These artists shaped not just his taste, but his instinct. Proto Marin exists in the space they opened up: where discipline meets feeling, and form becomes a kind of language.
