About The Artist

Through the training as an Interior Designer, maralo realized his passion for creating something new, as well as his love for painting and drawing. In abstract/contemporary art he found the right direction for him to express his fantasies and thoughts. 2011, maralo started painting more seriously. Soon after that, he realized his calling was to pursue his art full time and since he retired in March 2015, he now enjoys putting his concentration into his passion. Maralo studied abstract art under South African abstract artist Leonie Brown. With color and form he wants to create paintings with psychological and sociological background, which can be interpreted by the viewer in an individual way. American abstract artist, teacher and author, Dean Nimmer commented on his work: I find the abstract work intriguing and unique and I would say, stay on the track you are on, because it's looking very good. In spite of his short carrier as an artist painter, maralo's work is already represented in private collections in Germany, Austria and South Africa.
