Francesc Marco was born in Alboraia in 1972. He studied in the Escuela de Artes y Oficios of Valencia, specializing in Artistic Illustration. Later, he abandoned the use of paper to fully focus on canvas, discovering his real passion: painting.

He finds inspiration in the Great Masters of the XV Century. He studied them closely, their figures, faces…. to finally reveal a close and personal Renaissance, where the materialistic elegantly retreats to reveal the immortal world of mystic shapes.

He uses collage: using Valencian silk on wood. The Mediterranean art is his inspiration and classical sculpture is a key reference in his most recent artistic works.

Techniques known as no pintado or despintado (unpainted) can be observed in his art. To the naked eye, this can be appreciated as a void in his composition, but this is a strategy used by the artist to create mystery: it is the beholder who paints, who finishes the painting during his observation.

The pictorial composition is deliberate, it is a delicate balance of tension and weight seeking equilibrium.

He also finds inspiration in nature to express himself as an artist, such as floral details, green spaces… with the objective to offer the spectator a living world.

Cities are an endless source of inspiration, urban landscapes with large everydayness value, its people, its streets, its building, and of course, the Mediterranean light overwhelming Valencia, creating its cosmopolitan and traditional character.

Lastly, always extremely faithful to reality, portraits, where the artist is meticulous in every detail showing his versatility in pictorial arts.
