Moksha Marquardt

Moksha Kusa Marquardt (his birth name) is a self-taught painter, a drum maker, a teacher and a trained tabaquero. He’s originally from Washington State and is currently residing in Portland Oregon.

Moksha’s artistic style blends intricate details with a loose painterly approach, creating pieces that are alive with movement and vibrant color. His paintings serve as a reflection of his emotional relationship with nature—capturing what is felt rather than simply what is seen.

Undoubtedly growing up in the Pacific Northwest has had the deepest influence on his work.

Driven by a genuine passion for his craft, Moksha made the transition from a career of nearly 20 years as a designer and background artist in the computer game industry to becoming a full-time fine artist over a decade ago
