Marcel Flisiuk Biography
Early on Marcel showed passion for creating pictures, to find through them a formula to communicate and, yes, to change the world. His mother Teresa Flisiuk, an accomplished writer, cultivated by means of guidance in the matters of life in general, by widening his sight, and pointing to fog and blur of a day to day existence which seems to purposely obscure for us the most pivotal things.The mother took also special care to stay away from influence on the process of painting itself, to let his talent develop freely, unmarred by any sort of formal education.Thanks to her relentless efforts, Marcel owns a style of his own - readily recognizable and inimitable as well as literary merit of his images and their titles.
Marcel sold his first painting at the age of ten in New Orleans.There he made friends with musicians, local power wielders, aroused envy in craft painters littering Jackson Square, designed posters, postcards, compact disc covers, painted murals and one refrigerator door on commission to be precise, several galleries started to carry his paintings and off around the world they went to places like Jerusalem, Paris and Nagasaki.Separate shows of his work were presented in Chicago and Atlanta. Several collectors keep large numbers of his work and are extremely passionate about his art.
