Markus Kanzler, known by his artistic pseudonym Marterium, is a German artist whose passion lies in the exploration of form and color, considering them as distinct languages. His artistic journey revolves around capturing abstract concepts and translating them into captivating compositions. Markus perceives digital art as a collaborative endeavor between humans and machines, acknowledging the ever-evolving tools that facilitate its creation.
With each passing year, the evolution of digital art tools brings a sense of excitement to Markus. He eagerly awaits the updates that enhance a digital artist's brushes. Among his primary tools for creating Marterium's mesmerizing artworks are Cinema 4D, Houdini, and Photoshop. Additionally, he utilizes After Effects and plugins like Octane/Redshift and X-Particles to expand his creative possibilities.
Before immersing himself in the realm of 3D art, Markus pursued a background in psychology. However, he never felt compelled to work as a traditional therapist. In 2019, he brought Marterium into existence, delving into the world of cryptoart in 2020. Since then, he has worked for clients like Apple, Zedd or PayPal. Markus places great importance on evoking emotions and raising people's awareness through his art. His ultimate goal is to share beautiful and meaningful inspiration with the world while maintaining a low-profile as an individual. In a lighthearted manner, one could even say that, unintentionally, he has become an extraordinary and more creative kind of therapist.
