Marco lets the mediums naturally manifest within his artwork.
Placing HIS emphasis on process.
“An important aspect of my artwork is the removal of my own artistic hand. Instead of controlling and demanding the paint move and act a certain way, I let the paint naturally manifest and express its pure form/ true colors/ most natural movement.” Schmidli's work is known for its sensitive surfaces and subtle textures. He has developed specialized techniques for applying and layering color, giving depth to his paintings.
I usually start with a blank idea. My first inspiration are the colors. I think of the balance of hues, the possibility of the color intertwining. And the off chance of colors resurging from forgot bottom layers.
Once i’ve chosen the colors, I follow up by playing with process in which I lay and layer my paint. As the pushes, pulls, and swipes of my brissol pressures the canvas, the paint releases it own unique placement. From there on i’ve lost the reins and all I do is observe.
The excitement of the unimaginable outcomes has gripped me in a continuous loop of making art.
