I paint the monsters of life, and celebrate the Rebirth.

In the words of the experts, I would say:

Marco Marroccu champions a visceral aesthetic, where the canvas becomes the existential battlefield for the eternal conflict between the shadows of reality and the catharsis of rebirth, elevating pain to a prelude to a luminous spiritual palingenesis.
...and I could do that too, if you want.

But I paint monsters and I don't want to soften them: I just want them to stay there, nice and still on the canvas, so that the rebirth can take place.

I tell the story of bruised women who choose freedom; I tell the story of tenacious recovery after illness, after loss; of the child who faces bullies, depression, hunger, fathers deprived of their children: I tell the story of life's monsters, and of rebirth.

If you've ever fought a monster, if you've ever sought a Rebirth, then you know: my works tell of you.

Italian, of Sardinian origin, 1973, self-taught, confident and stubborn lover of life.
