Art Madrid'24 – Marc Sparfel

Marc Sparfel

Morlaix, (Francia), 1972

The first artistic steps of Marc Sparfel are given as an assistant in a puppet theatre in Orléans. He studied Visual Communication mainly focusing on photography, drawing, engraving and art history. Since 1999 he lives and works in Barcelona. A large amount of abandoned wood in the streets is very curious and sensitized to the recovery of the abandoned. He began to gradually incorporate this material into his sculptures. At first, he used furniture that became a long series of masks, animals and mythological beings. Currently, he uses simple wood scraps in geometric constructions. His work is exhibited in Spain, France, Germany and the United States.
