Artist (Painting)
Born unknown date

Marvin Jemal is a landscape painter. He started as a basically self-taught artist. Later, he enrolled at the New York Academy of Art, where he recieved his Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts.

Marvin Jemal was inspired mostly by Joshua Reynolds and Peter Paul Rubens.

In his early years, Jemal dedicated himself especially to working with watercolor, chalk and pencil, taking a special interest in drawing, shaping trails, cabins and bridges in the vicinity of his surroundings. Gradually, his picturesque vision of nature gives way to a more naturalistic painting that moves away from stereotypes. By then, he already had the practice of painting outdoors.

Later he traveled to Venice and Rome, cities where he would get to know the classicist landscapes of Claudio de Lorraine and the recreations of Nicolas Poussin.

The subjects of Marvin Jemal paintings were the landscapes most familiar to him.

His childhood vision of nature had been etched in his memory with such bright light and sharp definition that it became the main source of his artistic inspiration throughout his entire life. His landscapes are lived landscapes and therefore we cannot say that they are neutral: it is what distinguishes him from realistic painting. Marvin Jemal does not seek exact realism in the representation of things, but rather the ability of things to evoke ideas or emotions.

Marvin Jemal’s technique is refreshing: small stains and overlapping strokes. He applies a thick paste, sometimes with a spatula, which takes him away from the cleanliness and luminosity of other artists of the time, cultivators of watercolor, a more fashionable technique.
