STARVED&SEDATED

STARVED&SEDATED by MARKEL is a raw, unflinching portrayal of humanity's struggle within a broken system—a system that promises limitless potential but delivers only disillusionment and detachment. This piece explores the tension between human empathy and the greed-fueled ambition that strips away our sense of purpose and compassion. Through bold imagery and haunting symbolism, STARVED&SEDATED invites the viewer to confront the profound loss of our shared humanity in the pursuit of hollow success.

MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST

MARKEL transmutes philosophical rebellion into monumental mixed-media landscapes, wielding spray paint and acrylic like alchemical weapons across increasingly massive canvases. Each work becomes a battleground where totemic figures rise through layered pigments—spray paint's raw urgency colliding with acrylic's deliberate depth. He's not just creating art; he's expanding a visual universe that grows more intricate and immense with each iteration. Totemic figures rise from his work like primordial memories; primordial archetypes erupt from his canvases like spectral memories; ancestral shadows materialize, bleeding through the membrane between myth and perception. With each new project, MARKEL's vision threatens to consume entire walls, entire rooms, entire perceptual boundaries—a relentless expansion of artistic consciousness that refuses to be contained.

These aren't paintings to match your living room decor—they're unflinching cartographies of inner wilderness, designed to crack open whatever fragile narratives you've constructed about reality.
