Marco was born in Hanau (D) on October 6th 1974. Here he got sense of himself thanks to a little rounded mirror with a green wooden frame. At the age of 10 he moved to Italy. He got his degree in industrial design at Milan's Politecnico. During one of his trips, in Amsterdam, when he visited a Salvador Dalí's exhibition, he found out to have a passion for painting and thanks to Ridley Scott´s movie “Alien”, he got in touch with HR Giger's art finding out his taste for gothic. Marco travels through Europe for over 3 years living in Dublin, Berlin and Glasgow. In Berlin, thanks to the Airbrush Club, Marco got in touch with the world of Bodypainting and since then every year he takes part of the World Bodypainting Festival and has been invited to be part of the jury of the Italian Bodypainting Festival in 2012. Marco worked for H.R. Giger and his Museum doing biomechanical Bodypaintings for events like the 10th Anniversary of the H.R. Giger Museum, the Biomechanic Day, the Tattoo Convention in Florence and the 15th Anniversary of the H.R. Giger Museum and I did the project for the 20th Anniversary of the H.R. Giger Museum. Marco paints on canvas, paper and skin, sometimes for fun, often to search the depth of the soul, looking for the light that is hidden behind the curtain of our inner darkness. His paintings are "Seelenlandschaften", landscapes of a soul, using traditional techniques (acrylic), but recently he started to draw sketches, his "cute little nightmares", on paper which he than colors digitally: puppets and plushes that interpret rock myths, (horror) movies and moods in a bizarre, grotesque yet entertaining way... Since 2018, together with Francesca Battista and Daniele Sottile, Marco is the author and colorist of the self-produced comic book NAMIDA, supervised by Fabiano Ambu (Bonelli Editore, it-Comics).
