Mareks Gureckis

Latvia - born in 1974

Although Marek's primary mode of expression is color, his compositions are not purely abstract. He incorporates various themes such as the piano, Greek amphora, chess pieces, and squares, seamlessly integrating them into his semiotic heavyweights.


The carefully designed textures, shades, and drips might only be noticed by a few as spontaneous. But the shiny boldness that gives the Greek vases a fun party vibe represents the artistic freedom many desire. Playing around with a painting's surface is common, but only a few go beyond using it as a sample collection.
