Kolio Marko

Born in Bulgaria in 1965, Marko spent much of his earlier years training in formal art. Over ten years, he studied at the School of Fine Art and Design and The Academy of Fine Art, both in Bulgaria. After, he moved to London, England for four years where he showed his work at various exhibitions. While in Italy, he studied classical painting and techniques. As a result, Marko traveled extensively as he was commissioned to paint trompe l’oeil murals and classic portraits for private buyers in England, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. His portfolio features many different styles of work revealing his extensive knowledge of many art techniques and mediums including acrylic, oil, pastel and water colour. Marko emphasizes the universal nature of art, a language that crosses all borders and cultures containing both raw energy and physical imagery.
