In his quasi-obsessive search for the essence of beings, and of spirits, in his quasi-mystical Sufi approach to painting, MARWAN’s work clearly carries his oriental roots. It is at the same time highly characteristic of the German expressive painting movement of 1960s Berlin. His distortion and eventually abstraction of forms led him to create overpowering canvases, showing intensely eloquent figures.
