About the Artist
Marko Spalatin
Marko Spalatin (b. 1945) is a Croatian American abstract geometric painter and printmaker. Born in Zagreb, he moved to the U.S. in 1963 and earned both a B.S. in Art and an MFA from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. His work is represented in major collections worldwide and has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions.
Spalatin’s art explores abstract geometric forms through the interplay of color and light. Influenced by his experiences diving in the Adriatic and Caribbean seas, he investigates the relativity of color and the mystery of light, creating paintings that challenge perception and balance subjective expression with objective clarity.
