"I love art. All types of art inspire me. From drawing and doodling, to painting and sculpture, I have always had a passion to create. I feel like art is a way to communicate to the present world without knowing its tongue. Art's inimitable fingerprint is left for future generations to examine and interpret. Art is a way to make a house feel more like a home. And to some people, art is a way of adding value to their standard of living. It's no surprise my art, then, is a melting pot of the ideas and interpretations of the art I absorb.
Abstract art has always been a favorite of mine because of its ability to bring a new reality into existence. Art remains to capture the minds of people to this day because of its inventive nature. Art animates practicality. Ultimately, we are all creations of the one original artist and designer of all things, God. So, in His likeness, is my existence. Prepared through daily prayer and meditation, completed by celebration, the art I create undergoes a process reserved for magical potions and medicinal concoctions I simply ask that you take a journey with me into an image, so that together we might see the same common goal and work towards in it unification."
-MSA ART
A mixed media artist, Marcus explores the presence of the sacred in his
everyday life as a primary source for inspiration and content of his paintings.
His interest in art as a tool for social change has led him through the journey
from free expression of urban art spray-painting to the innovative, creative,
and unique visual presentations he now offers in his dynamic work. His art
sensibilities bring a distinctive look to the variety of media he uses in creating
his images. Growing up amidst the architectural richness that Chicago offers,
Marcus has extended his acumen and repertoire in art through formal education, internships, and travel throughout the United States, Europe, and the Caribbean. Currently, his artwork is enjoyed by galleries, universities, and in the homes of private collectors.
