About
A self-taught artist with a passion for decoration, Marcus defines himself as a multidisciplinary art creator. His artistic world encompasses paintings, drawings, sculptures, lightings, furnishings and installations. Among the artists who have had an influence on his development since the outset are Serge Poliakoff, Paul Evans, Josef Frank and Tatsuo Miyajima.
Although Marcus likes to give his imagination free rein, like a floating electron, there has been a guiding thread running through his pictorial work since the 2000s. A characteristic feature of his paintings and drawings is geometrical and organic forms where random elements which come up in the process of composition finally melt into a structured, colourful whole.
The concept of flying time also plays an important role in his approach. Most of his works reflect this idea of time passing.
Since 2017, alongside his career as an artist, he has also been developing a new, targeted way of working in the decorative arts. This approach appeals directly to private individuals and professional interior designers.
He offers customised pieces which will fit into their particular environment. His timeless style bends in with modern, contemporary or more eclectic interiors.
Marcus, who comes from Brussels, is now based in Stockholm and works in both cities.
