Marius Budu
Visual Artist
Copenhagen, DenmarkI've been creating images ever since I can remember. I am fascinated by the power of imagery and how it can be used to tell stories, provoke thought and emotion and more importantly, shape culture and history.
The way some artists use paint, clay or wood, I use the human figure and light. I’m fascinated by our body’s endless expressive capabilities. My art tends towards surrealism and the abstract because I am very interested in telling both a visual and conceptual story.
