Originally a professional photographer working all over Europe, his main focus in the last decade shifted increasingly to painting. In this field, his works won prizes, and he has made a name for himself on 3 continents. Marcus born in 1977 in Teckomatorp, Sweden. I discovered the painting rather late, in 2009 when I attended a 5-day summer course in drawing. From the very first moment I was in love and could not stop to sketch. At that time it was only pencil and charcoal. In autumn 2011 I started painting with color. First painting was called simply «The fruit». It was exhibited once in Lund, Sweden. Even though I have no art educations, I always say that I just follow my heart. I have also worked as a photographer for over 10 years. Now I own my studio/gallery in Ystad, southern Sweden.
