ARTonaut Statement

Markus’s practice orbits between art, design and art history, moving through a visual language that drifts between surreal realism, abstraction and upcycling. He also re-imagines the Old Masters through a contemporary lens, pulling their imagery into new alignments. Inspiration sparks from flora, fauna, architectural details and the fleeting moments of daily life – tiny gravitational shifts that seed new visual constellations. Humour and colour pulse through his work, radiating as a bright counterforce to the heaviness of the everyday. Positivity is his chosen trajectory. He carries colour in his heart and releases it into the world. HEARTworks in glow, for you.
