/ Cammino di trasmutazione dell'anima / Salti quantici, alla scoperta di nuove dimensioni
"Everyone is an artist sometimes, even without knowing it."
I use these words to describe my life and my free spirit in a few lines. I am Marco Grechi, aka Mark, and in everyday encounters I look for what is beautiful and makes life lighter. Life, besides many gifts, presents me with wood, paper and colours. Over time, I have learnt to discover matter as a source of friendship, and everything becomes a travelling companion for me. On several occasions I find myself playing with the materials I work with and then create something, as if I had become a child again. Colours and their nuances convey emotions that would sometimes be difficult to share with words.
In my work I appreciate the essential dimensions of human life, what makes each human being unique and unrepeatable. In the same way, the lines, colours and nuances in a work of art, as in the relationships between people, become characteristic elements in building and composing history. Over the years, the study and use of colour and material play fundamental roles and are the paths along which I am able to express a vision of life that is called upon to renew itself. My communication is sometimes expressed in the confusion of lines, in the quiet silence of a house, in the search for a desire that animates boats on the lakeshore or in the contrasts of men trying to walk ‘Beyond’ matter, ‘Beyond’ form and the appearance of perception.

Biography
My origins are linked to the land of Brescia where I grew up in the province, in the green countryside of the Po Valley. After my agricultural studies, i work and during the days getting even more and more passionate for the animals and vegetables world. The colours of creation having such a variety of shades, they attract my eyes and my spirit until “in the middle of our life’s path...”the youthful passion for drawing is rekindled. The words with which Dante opens the Divine Comedy I borrow them to approach a beautiful and surprising experience such as the use of colors, paintbrushes, living all the emotions that only our great Mother Earth can give; then life, people, seasons, flowers, fruits, simply trying to imprint all my emotions on paper. I have always sought what is beautiful, harmonious, what makes life peaceful, special and happy. On my opinion art and drawing couldn’t be a job that starts with a degree or a contract. Art can be a leaf on the lawn, a glass on the table, a mother who embraces her children, the sun that matures the fruits. And art understood as the production of something you see in a frame, it’s not old. Everybody is an artist, maybe without knowing or wanting to. Art is sharing, it leads to stopping the eyes, to closing them and to reopening them. In the middle of your life, you give shape to something that has always been there, waiting, blooming, a little water, mixed with colours, filling spaces, giving shape in motion. The many travels, the people I meet, the study, the school, the continuous search for links with history lead me to draw, to use colours that seem to fix the transformations of life that are never finished: new doors are opened, they leave room for realities that give us new looks. Let the light be: lights and shadows, the colours of life accompany eyes and hearts as paintbrushes and water are creating new forms and artworks.
