i got a feeling
a picture does not mean anymore simply reality. it has become unconstrained to be a symbol. the digital streams are just linked with themselves. they follow their own way, easy to read, but hard to decipher because there are no concrete thoughts. That's the way it is in abstract painting as well as in music versus rhythm, versus feeling. This is where Marco's pictures come into being.
it's automatic
he is a qualified graphic designer, he studied painting, he loves japan and speaks spanish. however, none of these facts are being reflected in his pictures. they are unreasonable - blunt and incorruptible. they belong to an unknown land created by living pictures of a childhood, of an unknown world, again and again being discovered anew.
i got a feeling
he brings waves of colors into his pictures as if they were waters of indomitable vividness and hopes for a last resort in the struggle for life. having again a look at the pictures after some time, you realise that they have become more transparent. then you manage to understand them, you feel familiar, yet you leave the places of your imagination in a turbulent mood. you might want to protest against too much voluntary nature, too much opposition and too many fugitive lines. but then again you see a spot stimulating your thoughts and forcing you to work on what you have just found out in the streams.
it's automatic
often it is only a fine stroke or a small space of blue still shimmering through the surface of black and violet. there are the sediments that marco has brought into being like the inside knowledge of the pictures that accompany us. like the fell under the cloak of the prince, his pictures hide traces of life.
it's a physical feeling,
he puts up his own rules, we must obey them in order not to lose the orientation, his art is captivating because it is talking about a world which did not exist in this way before.
I'm gonna change this city. (ZOOT WOMAN)
