I am Marcel Wissing Boada, painter, instructor and traveler. I was born in 1998 in Dresden and grew up in Barcelona, where I discovered my passion for painting at the age of ten. Since then, I have been fascinated by capturing the beauty that surrounds me. After graduating from Barcelona Academy of Art (Spain) in 2021, I began a journey as plein air painter traveling across Europe. In 2023, I moved to India, where I worked as a guest instructor at Samsara Academy of Art. While in South Asia, I traveled extensively through India, Nepal, Pakistan and Nepal. Traveling has inspired me in ways I never imagined, helping me to turn everyday moments into meaningful paintings that reflect the essence of each place.

​

I paint primarily en plein air (outdoors) in alla prima technique, which means that I finish each piece in a single session that takes me between two and five hours, depending on the complexity of the subject and the size of the canvas. My style combines realism and impressionism, as I try to capture my personal impressions of a particular place and time. Without going into details, I suggest an idea of what is in front of me - emphasizing the intuitive creation of the painting with a loose technique and confident brushstrokes.
