Marco Schmidli’s "A807" is a large captivating abstract painting that merges ethereal textures, atmospheric washes, and gestural marks in a soft yet dynamic composition. The interplay of deep crimson, soft blues, and neutral tones creates a weathered, almost celestial aesthetic, reminiscent of distressed frescoes or aged patina surfaces. This large-scale contemporary artwork exudes a sense of mystery and movement, making it a perfect statement piece for modern interiors seeking organic movements and meditative depth. Swiss born artist Marco Schmidli creates minimalist paintings with a contemporary edge. Placing emphasis on process, he lets the mediums naturally manifest within his artwork. “An important aspect of my artwork is the removal of my own artistic hand. Instead of controlling and demanding the paint move and act a certain way, I let the paint naturally manifest and express its pure form/ true colors/ most natural movement.” Schmidli's work is known for its sensitive surfaces and subtle textures. He has developed specialized techniques for applying and layering color, giving depth to his paintings. The textural nuances and expansive scale of "A807" evoke both intimacy and grandeur, making it a versatile statement piece for collectors seeking to transform their spaces. Its calming palette and layered abstract forms invite contemplation, imbuing any environment with elegance and depth. In "A807", a 96-inch tall by 72-inch wide abstract composition, Schmidli showcases his signature approach of letting the medium naturally manifest, creating an ethereal and evocative piece. Swirling purple tones juxtaposed against a soft, misty palette of blues, whites, and muted pastels give this artwork an atmospheric and meditative quality, reminiscent of color field studies with a contemporary edge. Schmidli studied photography and fine art in Switzerland and Rome. He worked as a photographer and painter in Zurich and then in 1989 he moved to California. In addition to fine art, Schmidli’s work has graced the film and entertainment industries, from fashion spreads to celebrity portraits, music videos, and red-carpet events.
