Comment: 

"In place of the traditional still life, Marco created a series of paintings dedicated to “live life” such as “Candelabbra”, “The Pear” and "Ornamental Vase," which clearly pay homage to the female figure. These pieces highlight not only the elegance of the shapely and sinuous female body; they also highlight internal qualities such as moral determination, honesty and having a healthy spirit".
