Marin Majic's Marble Dust Paintings Glimmer with Enigmatic Light
Brooklyn-based artist Marin Majic creates mixed-media works on linen using colored pencil, oil color, and marble dust. The chalky dust accentuates light, producing a twinkling effect against matte stone. His scenes, often featuring solitary figures or insects, explore power, impermanence, and reality. Works include "Negative attention" (2026, 13 x 16 inches), showing a spiderweb with colorful specimens, and "Night Swim II" with a figure in a pond. Majic is preparing for summer group shows and a book release with Nino Mier Gallery.
