Marco Jacconi
Hometown: Zurich
Based in: Zurich
Marco Jacconi born in Berne, Switzerland is an artist from Zurich with Italian and Moroccan roots. His complex compositions are based on surfaces and amorphous forms and the interplay of light and shadow. Before devoting himself exclusively to art, Jacconi worked for many years as creative director in the graphic design area, where he worked for well-known companies from home and abroad. He worked exclusively in the areas of luxury, beauty and fashion. In the 1990s he belonged to the Swiss graphic design-and digital art avant-garde and influenced an entire subculture with his works, which contributed significantly to a Swiss design renaissance. The artworks of Marco Jacconi have been presented at leading galleries and art fairs in New York, Milan, São Paulo and Zurich.

Marco Jacconi In The Studio
"My work is a dive into the unknown. Cause and effect remain diffuse with these surfaces and amorphous forms, which dramatically overlap and penetrate each other until depths emerge. Each work is visualized energy; as if something is pushing outwards from the inside, as if the surfaces were under pressure. My aim is to penetrate into spiritual spheres and to make the mysterious invisible visible."

Describe your creative process.
My creative process is about penetrating from the surface into the depths in order to explore the essence and truth of things. The work goes through countless metamorphoses on this visual adventure journey until it finds its final form. My approach is intuitive, dynamic, exploratory and flexible. Intuition is always at work in my artistic work. In doing so, I do not consciously control this intuitive creative process, but rather accompany it. So it is active and passive work at the same time. I process my abstract digital painting with my own photography.
