Markus, a renowned artist, firmly believes that a truly impactful image
must possess a vibrancy so potent that it can shatter the indifference of
art now any observer, leaving a lasting impression. He argues that without this

vibrancy, an image remains lifeless and fails to captivate.
Every canvas that Markus creates is a reflection of his soul, a mirror that
reflects his experiences with reality. His art often delves into the darker
aspects of life, transcending traditional notions of beauty to serve as a
medium for expressing his personal encounters with fear, dread, and
the melancholic aspects of life. Markus’s journey in the realm of art has
been significantly shaped by his academic pursuits. He holds a doctorate
in painting from the Faculty of Arts and Design in Belgrade, where he was
mentored by the respected Emeritus Professor Milos Sobajic. His artistic
prowess was further refined during his Master’s degree at the Academy

of Art in Novi Sad, under the guidance of Professor Milan Blanusa.
Markus is a well-known figure in Serbia’s art community. He has served
as the vice-president of the artistic council of ULUS (Association of
Fine Artists of Serbia) and has played a crucial role in the Republican
Commission for art school admissions and the Committee for entrance
exam task formulation in 2002.
