Over the last decades, Marek—a photographer for more than 50 years—has shifted his photographic technique from analogue B&W to digital colour photography. These days, his focus is on creating unique abstract photographs from deserts in Death Valley and Abu Dhabi. Pure and smooth lines, and colourful shapes with perfect harmony are at the core of this series.

These artworks have been awarded in many international contests and are in private collections in Czechia, Switzerland, Spain, the USA, and Abu Dhabi. Solo exhibitions took place in Zurich (CH), Bern (CH), Campione (IT), London (UK), Prague (CZ), Barcelona (ESP), and New York (USA).

ARTIST STATEMENT

My journey into photography began with a desire to see the world differently—more deeply, with greater attention to detail and atmosphere. I find inspiration in the landscape, and in the interplay of light and shadow—elements that can tell quiet, personal stories. I’m drawn to the space between reality and abstraction, between a specific place and a universal emotion.

I seek a space for stillness, contemplation, and openness. I aim to invite the viewer on a journey—not to find answers, but to discover beauty in silence, in details, and in unexpected connections.
