Artist Statement Surf And Art have been part of my life since my early years, eventually, while chasing for Waves and Surf Spots around the world, I also started enjoying Photography, and documented all my travels. All these trip photos became then, my new paintings inspiration. This may come from my past generations, since renowned artist (and Boxer) Tony Sisti from Buffalo NY, was my Great Uncle, and one of his many stories, places him traveling to the Congo with Ernest Hemingway. I still love traveling, and try to do so whenever possible, it keeps my inspiration going on for new paintings.
I have been mixing up my media, between airbrushed and hand brushed acrylics, and oil paints.
Although in the past I sold my Art mostly to friends and through word of mouth, in the last few years, I've had a great demand for custom paintings and even wall mural and prints. With each painting sold and hanging on someone's wall, I feel I should be taking my Art more serious, and lately I've been doing so by marketing myself on various websites and displaying my art at small events and gallery showings.
Hope You Enjoy my Surf Inspired Art. Email me Direct at Marcal72@yahoo.com
