Christiania Art Gallery South Pacific 3.32

Born in 1962, the son of Danish painter Lilly Kristensen and Mexican painter Luis Orozco, M A R I O S grew up in Mykonos, Greece where from very early years his painting talent was discovered.

After Marios graduated Boston Academy of Art in 1981 in the USA, he moved to Christiania, Denmark, where by applying photogenic multi colored facade he turned South Pacific House in to the most photographed house in the Freetown.

Marios is a multi-tasking talented artist. Before he opened up his Gallery and exposed his paintings, he used to have a Recording Studio where he worked as Music Producer with several artists, such as Lukas Graham, Mobb Deep, Will I Am, Killah Priest from Wu-Tang Klan, Yukmouth, The Jacka, Andy Vargas (Santana), JRO from The Alkaholicks, Eric Sermon (EPMD) from The DEF Squad, Lizzie (Ann Elizabeth Berg) and many others.

Today, created by Marios, Christiania Art Gallery @ South Pacific is one of the most viewed point in Christiania by tourists and locals. Marios uses coarse textures, rough brushstrokes and thick multiple layers as his painting technique. Likewise, he creats art from objects and nature.

“Like music, I believe art can contain scales, harmony, rhythm, and counterpoint”
