Marco Miller

Marco Miller is a multimedia artist whose work maps the dynamic topography of human experience, unmasking that which lies barely beyond reach.

Though he often depicts the chaotic currents of life, Marco Miller searches for a harmonious balance that binds all together, mobilizing symbols to understand how titans and flowers, snakes and sparrows, escalators and cows can coexist in an ever-shifting socio-cultural, ecological, and spiritual landscape.

Working primarily on paper and canvas with a blend of mediums, Marco Miller dives into the hidden scaûolding of reality, where everything is simultaneously built and undone, leaving its mark on the collective unconscious.

Artist interview:

How would you describe your artistic practice?

My artistic practice revolves around the inner journey – all that we see and all that remains hidden but leaves a trace. I try to work as intuitively as possible, allowing what emerges to take shape. The inner landscape is constantly shifting. I try to grasp what moves within it, which elements influence each other, how they come into being, and what drives them.

What lies behind them?

We often act without awareness of the mechanisms that control us.

My work is an attempt to make sense of these.

What concepts appear consistently in your practice?

I explore the many masks of god, the profane and the sacred, and their interactions. It’s a continuous development of a symbolic language. Many seem to be contradicting so I try to understand them. The link between yellow piss and gold. Between the red moon and the white virgin. Titans and lambs. I want to understand what connects them and what remains when everything changes.

What techniques or materials do you frequently use?

I work with paper or canvas, with various mediums, often oil or oil pastels. Intuitive drawing and writing accompany the process where a mess of forms and symbols are spit out. These are like flowers I’m allowed to pick up and take with me while stepping closer to the void.
