Current presentation
Marius L. Jensen builds large canvases where botanical silhouettes, fragmented figures, and instinctive marks settle into visual order.
Swiss painter, born in Lausanne in 1984. Abstracted figuration, movement, and nocturnal concentration.
Marius L. Jensen is the artistic pseudonym of a Swiss painter born in Lausanne in 1984 and raised in French-speaking Switzerland. He began painting at eight and completed his art studies within the Swiss Maturity program with a perfect score.
Jensen's paintings operate between abstraction and figuration, pairing expressive movement with a strong architectural instinct.
His canvases reward distance and proximity in different ways: instinctive and immediate from afar, increasingly intricate when viewed closely.
Figures, botanical forms, and familiar silhouettes often surface only partially, leaving room for the viewer to complete the image.
Working primarily at night, Jensen builds energetic yet controlled paintings that hold raw movement inside an exacting visual order.
The paintings move through impact, density, detail, and emergence without losing their compositional spine.

A compact gallery from the current archive. Open any image for a closer look at surface, framing, and scale.
Installed views show how the paintings hold a wall beyond the studio image: generous in scale, grounded by furniture, and alive in domestic light.
Raw movement, carefully constructed.
Jensen describes his approach as composed turbulence: dense compositions in which spontaneous marks, fragmented forms, textures, and subtle details gradually reveal an underlying balance.
The paintings occupy a distinctive territory between abstracted figuration, movement, and visual order. They appear direct at first, then begin to disclose partial figures, vegetal shapes, and familiar silhouettes through repeated looking.
For available works, exhibitions, commissions, or studio conversations.
Abstracted figuration, floral turbulence, and large-format gesture.
