Self-taught in several artistic fields, Marcus Gorenstein has a mastery of painting in oil, watercolor, pastel and acrylic, as well as of drawing and sculpture. He has also pursued independent careers in stained glass and restoration, all of which contribute to his professional knowledge. His principal field is painting, in which he is exceptionally adept at rendering the figure, nature, cityscapes, women, portraits, etc. Though the process might involve multiple layers of rich-colored glazes, a sense of unity underlies his paintings. An in-depth study of the interaction of light with modern pigments and mediums has led him to create paintings that are imbued with a magical inner glow.
