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.
Each new painting is regarded by Marcus as a fresh challenge ; anything is possible and likely in his vision...
Alltough no two of marcus's paintings are alike, his undeniable style is ever recognizable through his dream-like reality...
The language spoken weaves a tale of modern symbolism highlighted by his explosive usage of color...

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:
