The Artist and his work. Marcel Flisiuk autodidact artist who started his professional career in New Orleans at the age of 11, was born in Gdansk, Poland, where he spent his early childhood. In New Orleans he gained international contacts, was found by his future, faithful collectors of his artwork, many of whom followed his career over the years. Marcel is devoted to his art; his passion and his life. His silent childhood in Poland : being born near deaf and experiencing the fear of the appalling environment he was growing up with his older, toddler sister, he also silently started developing his visions and translations of the chaos surrounding him into the universal painting of Humanity, and often - its inhumane manifestations.

Known for his surreal and colorfully Kafkaesque paintings, Marcel Flisiuk was born in Poland, where he was profoundly influenced by his early years in the medieval port city of Gdansk. While he counts his "moody and sensual Slavic soul" among his formative influences, he also was affected by another port city, New Orleans, where the French Quarter still hints at its origins as a medieval sort of walled enclave. Flisiuk says he sold his first painting at age 10 in New Orleans, where he made friends with musicians and "aroused envy in craft painters littering Jackson Square," before expanding his repertoire to include murals, posters and CD covers. Describing New Orleans as the most European of American cities, he says it's a place "where things are played out more drastically and vividly." No kidding! -- D. Eric Bookhardt
