About the artist

Marcus, born in Lockenhaus (A) studied visual- and performing arts at the University of Arts in Graz, Vienna and Berlin.
Inspired as a child by the studio visits of the painter Eric Harter, the meeting with Primaballerina Melinda Esterhazy and the artwork and lifestyle of related artist couple Tamara Horáková and Ewald Maurer, it was very early on clear, that Alexandra - Maria was at home in art. 

Also a deep connection and love of nature, due to childhood in the countryside close to the woods allowed a creative spirit to develop freely. Before painting primarily, Marcus worked mainly as a choreographer and performing artist in the field of Contemporary Dance and Music Theater for many years.

In her multifaceted artistic work, Marcus deals with existential themes of humanity and how our perception, our consciousness and our state of mind shape our way of being.

Today her paintings are collected by recognized art collectors, government fundings and private art lovers.

Marcus lived and worked many years in Berlin, Germany.
Currently she lives and works in Graz, Austria and travels regularly to India/Nepal.
