Artist Statement
Searching for universal language, Marcus describes his inner urge to paint as his ultimate passion derived by the inspiration of life and the bizarre times he finds himself a part of.
Born and raised in the Hague, he has been expressing himself through his art since he was old enough to hold a pen...
Marcus desire to transform the beholder and elevate them from reality is surely fulfilled through his work...
Multiple dimensions mingle and intertwine to create a psychedelic nature where mysticism and humor depicted side by side illustrate his reality..
The paintings contain an ever present mystical overtone that draws us unwillingly into his surreal dimension.

Why did I create this site? some history about my web movements.
Dear Visitors,
It's been around one year ago since i blogged for the last time.
I ran various sites which were hosted on a friends account:

I lost some of these domains due to the financial crisis i entered
after i had a burn-out in 2007. 2006 had been a way too hectic year:
i had two expos in New York at Monkdogz Urban Art, had a drug issue,
my girlfriend left me, my dog was killed, i was almost killed at 6-6… Continue

- Ne no sales. But I can see you are having your asses kicked too. But it was my first show so it was a pleasure to have it at such a fine gallery. It was a nice holiday in a place that I am now very familiar with.
