Was born in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia /now the Slovak Republic/, the oldest son of a Czech mother and a Slovak father. Growing up in a musical family, he had been exposed to art, and music in particular, since early childhood. Over the years, he began to pursue visual art, initially as a subtle response to musical stimuli. His first painting, which he created for his brother, was a loose copy of a work by Henri Matisse. By altering the mix of colours he augmented the painting with another dimension. As a result he embarked on a further, more profound exploration of the meaning of colours, and started to learn more through colour therapy, and came to realize that colours have a similar affect on people as music, nature or meditation.
“Nowadays I am much more aware of the kind of colours people prefer and choose to wear”, he says. In addition to studying colour he has explored new techniques of paint application, particularly in large-scale paintings. He enjoys experimenting, while striving for harmony, and he examines the ways colours impact people rather than aspiring to create shocking compositions. The relationship between music, colour and emotion is the main driving force and inspiration for his art. Marcel P. collaborated with a number of architects and designers. He doesn’t regard his paintings merely as traditional interior design accessories and hopes instead to find a spiritual way of using colour to connect spaces, in which people spend their time working or relaxing.
