About Marcus Sprigens

 
 
  • Biography

    My work bridges the realms of portraiture, abstraction, surrealism, and perception. Inspired by nature, form, and dreams, I create in oil paints, acrylics, plaster of Paris, and wood. My history in media, graphic design, and art direction informs the artistic practice, resulting in compositions that blend smooth tonal values and diverse art genres. My creations are infused with historical, symbolic, and religious connotations, reflecting a deep connection to both the inner and outer worlds. Through techniques like automatic creative processes, contemplation, and meditation, I channel inspiration into artwork to shift the boundaries between fantasy and reality.
