About this artwork
A visible dialogue between artistic freedom and existential reality. In Priority, the artist addresses the interface between the artistic process and everyday reality. The unfinished background, hinting at ocean waves, alludes to the fluidity and incompleteness of the creative act. In contrast, the piece of paper, taped to the work, notes various priorities. This everyday element overlays the painterly depth and reveals how creative practice always…
emerges within the tension between material conditions and existential obligations.
Priority thus reflects not only a motif, but the act of making art itself – as a balance between inner urge and outer necessity.

Marco Bollenbach emerged from the graffiti subculture of the late 1980s and found his first means of artistic expression in the spray can. His keen sense of form, light, and detail became apparent early on, leading him to photorealistic techniques and lending his work a vibrant precision. As a former co-founder of the artist trio "Die Dixons," he had a decisive influence on Berlin's urban art scene. With projects like "TheHaus" and the first Berlin Mural Festival, he combined street art, spatial art, and social dialogue in a new way. Today, his large-format murals can be seen worldwide—mirrors of urban energy, technical perfection, and emotional depth. Through classical painting, taught by his grandfather, Bollenbach developed the style of "REimpressionALism"—a synthesis of realism and impressionism. A common thread runs symbolically through his work: a symbol of movement, transience, and the common thread of life.
