About

The Piece

In this carefully developed composition, Marc revisits the classic fairytale figure through his own contemporary lens. The reclining figure is rendered with quiet sensitivity, while the flowing hair becomes an active visual element that moves gracefully through the foreground.

This was an especially dedicated project for the artist, developed over the course of approximately six months. That extended process is evident in the thoughtful layering, the refined transitions of color, and the overall sense of calm control across the surface.

Soft florals and natural elements add warmth and narrative nuance, while Marc’s confident drawing keeps the composition clear and composed. At 48 by 60 inches, the work carries a strong, elegant presence on the wall. The painting currently comes with the contemporary gold frame shown, though the frame can be changed upon request.

About

The Artist

Marc Zimmerman is an American painter and ceramic sculptor based in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, recognized for exuberant, color-driven works that fuse tropical imagery, figurative elements, and stylized botanical forms. Across both canvas and clay, his practice is defined by a playful visual language and a confident orchestration of color that feels at once joyful, intuitive, and structurally resolved.

Zimmerman’s distinctive vocabulary was shaped early through his work in woodcut printmaking, which instilled the crisp edges and compositional clarity that continue to anchor his paintings today. His lush, immersive environments draw inspiration from the dreamlike worlds of Henri Rousseau and Paul Gauguin, while extended periods living and painting in Kauai, Hawaii, as well as time in Mexico and Europe, infused his work with the saturated light and rhythmic vitality that define his celebrated Jungle and Tropical Fantasy Floral series.

In recent years, Zimmerman has returned to his earliest artistic passion, clay, expanding his practice into the sculptural realm with his Garden Totems. These vertically stacked ceramic works are hand-built and individually glazed, each element supporting the next in a spontaneous, intuitive process. Rooted in his pottery background from Venice Beach in the 1960s and 70s, the totems translate his painterly sensibility into three dimensions, bringing the same sense of movement, humor, and joie de vivre into the garden or interior space.

A lifelong artist with more than four decades of studio practice, Zimmerman has been an active presence on the Monterey Peninsula since the 1990s. His work is represented by galleries in California, Florida, and New York, and is held in private collections throughout the United States and internationally.
