The Artistry of Marc Eliuk
Art Collectors have claimed that the artistic styles painted by Marc Eliuk are unique the world over, even ‘a rising star in the art world.’ All his works are painted by hand, using a simple paintbrush and typically in oils. His portrait works have been the topic of academic studies overseas but he is not limited to this one style and also paints his unique variations of surrealism, as well as his more decorative floral designs. Marc has painted for celebrities such as David Suzuki, Suzie McNeil and Geri Hall, among many other notable persons in the media.
