BIO

Marcos Anziani (b. 1984, Dominican Republic) lives and works in Connecticut. Rooted in lyrical abstraction and gestural expressionism, his paintings unfold in sweeping strokes, radiant fields of color, and intuitive forms that surface and dissolve across the canvas. Figures emerge, not as fixed portraits, but as flickers of memory, emotion, and motion. “The energy of color must be curbed through context and line,” Anziani notes—a guiding principle in his visual practice.

Influenced by Picasso, de Kooning, Miró, and Basquiat, Anziani moves fluidly between tradition and improvisation, synthesizing elements of street art, naïve figuration, and abstract gesture. His work channels both formal experimentation and autobiographical undercurrent, resulting in a language that feels at once ancient and immediate.

Anziani has exhibited internationally in New York, Miami, Mexico City, and Moscow, and is held in private collections worldwide. Since 2022, he has been represented exclusively by Avant Gallery. Recent milestones include his debut at the Norton Museum of Art (2023), his first auction appearance with Sotheby’s, and the solo exhibition Before I Go at Avant Gallery Miami (2023), followed by a featured presentation at Art Miami.

In 2024, he returned to the Norton and exhibited a sold-out solo booth at the Hamptons Fine Art Fair. His exhibition Home by Dinner was presented at Avant Gallery in December 2024 during Miami Art Week. In April 2025, Anziani was featured in Avant Gallery’s presentation at EXPO Chicago, further cementing his position as a rising voice in contemporary abstraction.

Use it to set your brand's tone and create a first impression with your customers. Vibrant imagery with a lot of background accent works well for a full-screen effect.

It is important to me to be able to place a moment in time from my perspective and surroundings into a canvas, guided by the subconscious and intuitive traumas and emotions, with the aim of encapsulating this period of human existence.
