Texture, dimension and emptiness are routinely expressed in his work which is semi-abstract in style. Also known as &#8220;MLIBTY&#8221;, he seeks to create a new reality from established places on the canvas and digital art.<br><br>Marko Zubak was born in 1979 in Zagreb, Croatia, in an artist surrounding, and started to create soon, playing in the family gallery on the island Rab. He starts studying painting at \u201cAccademia delle belle arti di Bologna\u201d, Italy in 1999. After three years of studying he has moved to Barcelona where he concluded his degree in \u201cFacultad de Bellas Artes de Barcelona\u201d, in 2006. He lives and works in Zagreb and Rovinj.<br><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"keychainify-checked\" href=\"http:\/\/markozubak.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/markozubak.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Opening: May 28th, 2022 &#8211; 3 PM Artist Statement: &#8220;Waiting for the waiters to be replaced by robots&#8221; is an interactive papertoy installation based on the short loop animation tokenized as a gif on KnownOrigin, Nov. 2020 under the same name.
