Marisol is a Spanish name, a shortened form of María de la Soledad ("Mary of [the] Solitude"), a title given to the Virgin Mary. Marisol may refer to:
Marisol (Spanish pronunciation: [maɾiˈsol]) is a 1996 Mexican telenovela, starring Erika Buenfil and Eduardo Santamarina with the antagonic role of the star actress Claudia Islas. It was produced by Televisa. This telenovela contained 145 episodes and is a remake of Marcha nupcial.
Famous and beloved Enrique Álvarez Félix died after he finished his work in Marisol.
Marisol has a pain-ridden life. She has a disfiguring scar on her face from a piece of a broken mirror she had fallen on when she was a little girl. Her mother is dying and Marisol must sell paper flowers to make money in order to support herself and her mother.
Sofia, Marisol’s mother, is carrying a heavy secret and she realizes she must tell Marisol the truth before she dies and leaves her alone (especially with Marisol’s sleazy boyfriend Mario). Unfortunately, Sofia dies without revealing that Marisol is really the granddaughter of Don Alonso Garcés del Valle, the patriarch of a very rich family, which includes the handsome and amiable painter, José Andrés, also one of Alonso’s grandchildren – or is he?
Maria Sol Escobar (born May 22, 1930), otherwise known simply as Marisol, is a sculptor born in Paris of Venezuelan lineage, working in New York City.
Marisol studied art at the Jepson Art Institute, École des Beaux-Arts, the Art Students League of New York, at the New School for Social Research and she was a student of artist Hans Hofmann. The pop art culture in the 1960s found Marisol as one of its members, enhancing her recognition and popularity. Marisol concentrates her work on three-dimensional portraits, using inspiration “found in photographs or gleaned from personal memories”.
Marisol’s religious beliefs might very well have had a great deal of influence upon her character and tendencies toward the arts. Her father moved Marisol, at age 16, and her brother (Gustavo Escobar) to Los Angeles where Marisol began her study in the arts, after World War II and also their mother’s suicide. She began practice in painting and drawing during her teen years. It was during these years she admitted self-inflicted acts of penance upon herself. She walked on her knees until they bled, kept silent for long periods and tied ropes tightly around her waist in emulation of saints and martyrs.
She held her face while she cried
And she told herself, girl you'll be just fine
She doesn't know just where she belongs
But for now she's got to run
She kept her dreams inside
For so long, for so long
There's nowhere left to hide
She's held on for so long and
She picks up all the scattered pieces of her life
She lifts up Marisol, Marisol, Marisol take flight
She finds that all she needs is in her heart
She lifts up Marisol, Marisol, Marisol take flight
And all the world is hers tonight
Marisol, it'll all be alright
With nothing but her pocket change
She makes her move, she heads to the train
She's staring at her shoes and
Fighting off negative thoughts in her brain
Counting to ten inside she discovers another
Way to put it out of her mind and recover, recover
She picks up all the scattered pieces of her life
She lifts up Marisol, Marisol, Marisol take flight
She finds that all she needs is in her heart
She lifts up Marisol, Marisol, Marisol take flight
And all the world is hers tonight
Marisol, it'll all be alright
Marisol got away, got away
Marisol got it her way, her way
And she's searching through
The faces of the crowded street
She's doesn't know a single soul
But she feels so free
And her spirit and her courage are all she needs
And she flies, and she flies, oh oh oh and
She picks up all the scattered pieces of her life
She lifts up Marisol, Marisol, Marisol take flight
She finds that all she needs is in her heart
She lifts up Marisol, Marisol, Marisol take flight
And all the world is hers tonight
