ABOUT MARCO VIZCARRA

BIOGRAPHY

Marco was born in Arequipa Peru. He studied architecture, and during this stage, he learned how to use watercolor as a medium to include color in his architectural drawings and sketches. After graduating as an Architect, He worked as a professor at two universities, teaching Architectural Design and Architectural Drawing. In February 2009 Marco and his family arrived in the state of Massachusetts, where they still reside.

Marco had several exhibitions in Peru and Massachusetts, and he is a member of the New England Watercolor Society; a member of the Quincy Art Association where he does classes of watercolor, sketches and perspective. Marco has participated in several art contests getting different awards, ranging from Best of the Show, first place, second and honorable mentions.

Marco has a painting studio at home, using techniques ranging from pencil drawing, acrylic, mixed media, and of course watercolor, his favorite technique.

​

Marco thinks: " paintings requires a balance between lights, shades and shadows and all of them are constantly playing an important role to get harmony". 

“I still wonder how such an ethereal technique can occupy the same place as architecture, where forms, structures, and materials are only the privilege of a single discipline. It is certainly a wrong impression. I think that the point of contact between these two vocations is within a territory that has turned many architects into a painter. It may be the aesthetic, the expression of the strokes, the energy of the forms, or the spirit of the lines and the spaces. But I am sure that in this context, the poetry of a painter or an architect occurs. I have learned that watercolor conveys in its clarity and simplicity concrete facts, and this is manifested by the product itself to preserve the pleasant moments of the past and present”.
