His current series are a reinvention of the femme fatale motif, exposing the modern woman’s powerful role within today’s uber-paced world.

“Chelsea Girls” features the women portrayed with a strong sensuality in vivid, stark contrast. Through these depictions, Marko plunges the viewer deeply into a hauntingly seductive and an often confrontational relationship with the subject, creating an edgy examination of creative powers of the individual to strive beyond social, cultural, and moral contexts.
