About Marius
Died of COVID-19 - NO WORKS FOR SALE TILL FURTHER NOTICE
Art is a way of living it comes very easily. Painting is also a spiritual calling a meditation about reality and what defines life. Artists are equipped with an antenna that intercepts the signals of time and reproduces it in their work. The work of the artist cannot be done through power, diligence or intelligence but through a religious impulse which guides the hand or not guide it.
I agree agrees with Hundertwasser, the Austrian Artist in saying: Only creativity brings us close to heaven: Only those who think and live creatively will survive this life and the hereafter. The colorful, the abundant, and the manifold are always better than mediocrity and uniformity
