Gabe Marquez is mainly a self -taught artist who refined his skills through years of studies in traditional sculpture, painting, and design. His artwork is an architecture of symbolism, color and form. The work draws heavy influence from his dreams and different eras of artistic expression. Within these dreams exist an endless world saturated with fantastical creatures, demons, symbolism, and energy which are brought into reality via his work.

The Architecture of Kisho Kurokawa
The Architecture of Antonio Gaudi
The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright
