Shark sculptures 

“Shark sculptures are the result of research. Sharks have been the main characters in my paintings and sculptures for some time. I chose these particular species because they are the synonyms for power, freedom, movement, and fear.”

At the core of the artist’s shark sculptures lies this combination of light and Plexiglas. The artist skillfully manipulates transparent material to fashion intricate shark forms, each distinct in posture and character. By the interplay of light and color, these sculptures create an illusion of movement.

Plexiglas also known as acrylic glass, enables Marko to mold sculptures with precision and finesse. When illuminated from within, the Plexiglas come alive, casting dazzling patterns and shadows that evoke a mystical ambiance.

I found a lot of parallels between sharks and humans, which might be the main reason for the conflict between us. Fascinated with the diversity of Nature from an early age, I explore the possibilities in which Nature and the built environment will coexist, continuing to admire its powers through my art.

Imaginative Wanderer 2, light sculpture

“You go down to the bottom of the sea, where the water isn’t even blue anymore, where the sky is only a memory, and you float there, in the silence. And you stay there, and you decide, that you’ll die for them. Only then do they start coming out. They come, and they greet you, and they judge the love you have for them. If it’s sincere, if it’s pure, they’ll be with you, and take you away forever.”

― Jacques Mayol

Installation Circle of Life imposes a question why are we, from all the living beings, the ones that destroy and exploit nature to its limits?
Sharks sculptures represent beautiful, yet dangerous creatures due to their instinct-based actions.

Humans on the other side, use both, minds and instincts. And that makes us even more hazardous to the world around us.
The fear produced in our imagination whenever we mention the name shark conflicts with the damage we are causing them.
This installation is composed of a variety of sharks. Different sizes and genders grouped, imitate their way of movement grouped in flocks.
