Although not entirely obvious at first is where the sky and the surface area meet. In Time and Space it is almost hard to detect what the foreground is. Nick Marci, a small time artist born in Novosibirsk, Russia. He works as a polygraphist, web designer, and he paints fantasy and surrealistic pictures. He studied at Pedagogic University and graduated in 1996; he received his diploma in book illustrating. He's still alive and painting, and expected to spark interest in his style of fantasy art.
The medium of Marci's painting is oils. The way the shapes are formed, Marci draws attention to the movement of the subject matter. As stated before it is not at all subtle how to depict the field. The composition of the painting consists of two upright Tikki heads up close, and one far off in the distance which seems to be falling over. All three heads in a type of unreadable setting. The hue gives off an illusion of a desert, but the texture of the surface creates an almost ocean like affect. Over all the painting is confusing yet so surreal and imaginative, it makes the viewer want to look and want to understand.
