When he was ten, he and his parents moved back to Croatia. They moved around several of the islands off the coast of Croatia, but spent most of their time on the Island of Unije. Unije was his favorite island, and the beauty of the sea and coastline inspired Marko to begin sketching. With the support of his father Miro, who was a watercolor artist and his mother, his strongest critic, Marko honed his artistic abilities. During the summer months Marko sold his drawings to German and Italian tourists. At the age of seventeen, despite encouragement from his parents to attend art school, Marko chose to enroll in a school for Navigators. For the four years he was at Navigation School, he continued his study of art. When he was finished with school, he found work on ships all the while struggling with his two loves, the sea and his art. It was not until his father died and Marko had moved back to the United States for a better way of life, that his love for art finally won over his love for the sea. It came after working three and a half years as a commercial diver. “Being underwater in absolute silence helped me clear my thinking.” he said. “I finally realized I should be doing something better with my life.” Marko then began drawing, painting and exhibiting his work in street shows where, he was discovered by established galleries. Soon his work was being exhibited in fine art galleries and art collectors began to discover Marko’s unique artistic style. Marko’s artwork has influences of his father, Winslow Homer and the French Impressionists. His inspiration is the same as when he first started drawing with pencil and black ink -- those years when he was little more than ten and living on the islands off the coast of Croatia. It is his love for the ocean and hillsides, and his desire to capture light and and its effects on color. This has been the prominent theme in his artwork. Marko has many favorite places of inspiration: Catalina Island, Laguna Beach, the Mediterranen and the old Spanish Missions. He spends time painting in Europe and Croatia where he has enjoyed considerable success and prestige.Store name:browse_my_storehttp://stores.ebay.com/browsemystore
