Louis Markoya is a surrealist painter, technologist and former protégé of Salvador Dalí. Based in St. Petersburg, his work has been exhibited in galleries and institutions across the United States and internationally. His signature approach combines classical artistry with fractal geometry, optical physics and lenticular movement to create a wholly original visual language. The lenticular technology used in 3D works is the realization of Salvador Dalí’s biggest artistic dream: creating full-color 3D on a 2D surface without external devices, a concept Dalí believed had been the dream of artists since the Renaissance.
