Original paintings by Rafael Marco

Inspirational abstract and surrealistic artist

I am currently dedicated to making abstract and surrealistic artworks in acrylic, oil or any paint and mixed media on canvas and other surfaces,

Most of my artwork if not all, has Newspaper. Sometimes the printed material is relevant to the piece of art and other times is just a symbol of the pervasive presence of mass media in everyday’s life for so many people.  Some other times the contribution of newspaper to the message is just as a recycled material.

In one of my latest series of paintings I just let the the paintings speak their own voice. I just pencil in my own mood and emotions to the resulting work.  The whole process of constructing these paintings in my joy and fascination. At the same time it frustrates me when that I can’t really paint things the way I see them, idea the way I think them and sentiments the way I feel them.

Rather than methodically working on certain imagery, it is the images that appear in my head.

As far as style, abstract work is what interests me the most. It is what I have previously done, it is what flows naturally. My intent is to interpolate my emotional energies, externalizing them into the pieces.
