Alysha Grace Marko Portrait Paintings

American, b. 1988
New York City-based artist, Alysha Marko is a figural and abstract painter from Central New Jersey. Growing up, Alysha moved around the US which allowed her social personality to butterfly. With a father who documented everything, Alysha grew comfortable in the face of a camera. Alysha loved the adventure of being on the go and the revolving door of new people to meet. She loved singing, dancing, and several different sports which all taught her to be outgoing. “I love being around people and experiencing new things. I think that's really where it may have come from was moving around a lot, just being able to pick up and move every two years” Later, Alysha went to the University of Massachusetts Amherst and graduated from Seton Hall University with a degree in psychology. This comfortability in the spotlight flourished into a career in modeling and acting. While in LA, Alysha pursued modeling and acting where she was featured in ELLE Magazine, Playboy, several films, and theatre productions. Alysha moved on to become an abstract and figural artist based in New York City. Her work is full of color, and movement, and is often inspired by the world around her. Portraits of herself and her friends are just two of the common representations seen in her work “Looking in the mirror and painting myself is a way to figure myself out, but also, I like to paint my friends if they're there. I'm always with myself, so it's easy to pick up a mirror and just have a subject and study. Lately, I've been trying to uncover these things by ripping apart the image of you.” Heavily influenced by her psychology study, Alysha has used her experiences to uncover herself and how she displays herself in the art world. Themes of narcissism, vanity, essence of the individual, and sense of speech are where Alysha’s work is born. The use of texture, color, art historical tradition, and psychological figures combine to create paintings like Rodin in the Sun (2023), Candyland (2019), and Diamond Dice (2018). In 2019, along with partner Renelio Marin, Alysha started the UEast75 gallery that lived just a few blocks away from The Met, The Institute of Fine arts, and the Frick Museum. Now called AMRM gallery, Alysha has come to represent many different artists in a two-story gallery space. Angela China, David Richardson, and Nancy Pantirer are just three of the talented artists represented at the gallery.

Ryan: Contemporary Abstract Oil Painting

By Alysha Grace Marko

"Ryan" is a contemporary figurative oil painting completed in the summer of 2022, featuring a man in front of an abstract background. The contrast between the extreme abstraction of the background and the figurative foreground makes for a striking and energetic piece. The model of the piece is Ryan, a close friend of the painter. On one summer night after a few glasses of wine, Alysha decided to paint Ryan in her studio. "I love painting from life, it translates so much better for me," said the artist.

Psychological Portrait of Girl with Dog Spanish Figurative Oil Canvas Painting

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Psychological Portrait of Girl with Dog Spanish Figurative Oil Painting 1974 Artist: José Antonio Castro Cadenas Title: Girl with Dog Date: 1974 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 73 × 54 cm (28.7 × 21.3 in) Signature: Signed and dated lower left Frame: Unframed Condition: Very good overall condition. Stable support and paint layer. Description A refined psychological portrait depicting a young girl holding her small companion dog, painted in 1974 by Spanish figurative artist José Antonio Castro Cadenas. The composition is structured around the direct, introspective gaze of the sitter, creating an immediate emotional dialogue with the viewer. The dog’s slightly diverted attention introduces a subtle narrative counterpoint, adding tension and quiet movement within the otherwise serene arrangement. Executed in a restrained palette of muted pinks, greys and softened whites, the painting conveys the lyrical atmosphere characteristic of Spanish figurative portraiture of the 1970s. The artist’s controlled modelling of the face and hands reveals strong academic training combined with a poetic sensitivity typical of mature postwar Spanish realism. Portraits of children accompanied by animals hold a special place within European figurative painting and remain particularly sought after by collectors interested in narrative intimacy and psychological presence. A compelling and elegant example of Spanish figurative painting from the second half of the twentieth century. Biography José Antonio Castro Cadenas (Córdoba, 1926–2006) was a Spanish figurative painter known for the tonal refinement and psychological sensitivity of his portraits and figure compositions. He developed most of his artistic career in Córdoba and exhibited on several occasions at Galería Studio–Juan Bernier, an important venue for the promotion of twentieth-century Andalusian art. His work includes portraits, female figures, hunting scenes, equestrian compositions and landscapes distinguished by solid draftsmanship and harmonious chromatic balance. Today his production forms part of the tradition of Spanish figurative painting that preserved narrative and emotional realism throughout the second half of the twentieth century. The painting resonates with the introspective atmosphere found in the work of Antonio López García, as well as the poetic figurative tradition associated with Julio Romero de Torres and the broader lineage of Spanish psychological portraiture. Its quiet stillness and emotional restraint also echo the intimate portrait sensibility seen in twentieth-century European figurative painters working between realism and lyrical modernity. This positioning situates the work within the continuity of postwar Spanish figurative painting that remained committed to atmosphere, silence and psychological depth rather than abstraction.
