CANDACE MARQUETTE ART

Art for the Wildly Imaginative.

Contemporary. Maximalist. Symbolic. Joyful. Transformative.

Candace Marquette is a multidisciplinary contemporary artist whose work turns color, symbolism, storytelling and imagination into immersive visual worlds.

For more than 25 years, Candace has moved fluidly between fine art, fashion, design, murals, mixed media, digital art and emerging technology—creating a body of work that refuses to fit neatly inside one category.

Her art is not minimal. It is not quiet. And it is not meant to simply decorate a wall.

It is meant to make you feel something.

THE CANDACE MARQUETTE LANGUAGE

Candace's signature style can be described as Contemporary Dopamine Maximalism—an explosion of color, pattern, symbolism, characters, jewels, flowers, animals, celestial imagery and layered details designed to awaken curiosity and joy.

Her paintings often feel like portals into another world.

Bold figurative forms meet fantastical creatures. Sacred and ancient symbolism collides with pop culture, fashion and contemporary design. Gold foil, acrylic, collage, glitter, hand-drawn marks and mixed media create surfaces that reveal something new every time you look at them.

There is a sense of abundance in the work.

More color.
More story.
More symbolism.
More possibility.

And underneath the visual candy is something deeper: transformation.

ART AS A PORTAL

Candace creates worlds.

Her work explores ideas of identity, spirituality, feminine power, healing, humanity, nature, technology, interconnectedness and the possibility of becoming something greater than we were before.

Animals become guides.

Flowers become symbols.

Jewels become energy.

Color becomes emotion.

Characters become archetypes.

And the canvas becomes a doorway.

Her practice often combines personal experiences with larger stories drawn from mythology, scripture, technology, pop culture and the human imagination.

The result is a visual universe that is both deeply personal and intentionally expansive.

FROM CANVAS TO THE BLOCKCHAIN

Candace is also part of a generation of artists redefining what a contemporary art practice can be in the digital age.

Her work extends beyond the physical canvas into NFTs, phygital art, digital worlds and blockchain-based experiences.

Her Revelation Walls project transformed large-scale murals created in Switzerland into a digital art ecosystem, connecting physical artwork with blockchain technology and new forms of ownership and storytelling.

Her work has also explored the intersection of art, technology and real-world experiences through projects such as The X Collection and MetaRealities.

For Candace, technology isn't a replacement for art.

It is another canvas.

THE REVELATION WALLS

Among Candace's most significant works are the Revelation Walls, large-scale murals created for the DFINITY Foundation in Zurich, Switzerland.

The murals combine expressive characters, animals, flowers, jewels, celestial imagery and layers of symbolic storytelling.

The physical walls became the foundation for an expanded digital ecosystem, demonstrating Candace's belief that a single artwork can exist across multiple dimensions—physical, digital, experiential and collectible.

A CAREER BUILT ACROSS CREATIVE WORLDS

Candace's career began long before the current digital-art movement.

With more than 25 years of experience spanning art, design, fashion, crafting, business and technology, she has built an unusually interdisciplinary creative practice.

Her work has appeared in galleries, publications, television, international exhibitions, major brand collaborations and large-scale public and corporate art projects.

She has worked with brands including Sharpie, Jacquard, Plaid, Duncan, We R Makers and Ranger, and has been featured across numerous art, craft, design and lifestyle publications.

Her career has included television appearances, product design, authorship, celebrity design collaborations, large-scale murals and pioneering work in NFT and blockchain-based art.

In 2024, Candace received a Global Recognition Award, adding another milestone to an already unconventional creative career. Her work has been exhibited and collected internationally, with documented presentations and exhibitions spanning the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

PEOPLE. ART. STORY. POSSIBILITY.

At the heart of Candace's work is a simple belief:

Art has the power to change how we see ourselves, our environment and our future.

She believes art can bring joy.

It can create conversation.

It can transform a space.

It can preserve a story.

It can help us imagine a different future.

And it can remind us that we are still allowed to dream.

This is why Candace doesn't see herself simply as a painter.

She is a world-builder.

An artist.
A storyteller.
A designer.
A creative technologist.
A collector of symbols.
A creator of experiences.

Her work exists at the intersection of fine art, imagination, culture, technology and transformation.

COLLECT THE WORLD OF CANDACE MARQUETTE

Every original artwork is intended to feel like more than an object.

It is a piece of a larger story.

Collectors are invited to discover the symbols, characters, colors and hidden narratives within each work—and to bring a little of Candace's wildly imaginative universe into their own.

This is art for people who want to feel something.

Art for collectors who love a story.

Art for spaces that deserve a pulse.

Art for the wildly imaginative.
