Markus' distinctive style has been shaped by Renaissance artists as well as Neo-Classical and Romantic periods. Artists that have inspired him include da Vinci, Rembrandt, Titian, Vincent van Gogh, Gustav Klimt, and Sandro Botticelli. Markus strongly draws upon his studies of the Old Masters. He is known for his mastery of sfumato, a technique most often associated with da Vinci. The technique, which means "soft" or "blurred," is fine shading that gradually softens the transitions between colors with subtle changes. The technique's most prominent characteristic is a lack of defined lines, which gives Markus' works an elusive feel. Markus' alluring portraits express the "Eternal Feminine" in her many guises, both as a mortal woman and a mythological goddess. Much like the Renaissance artists he admires, Markus seeks to capture the beauty of the female form. He often portrays younger women, saying they represent promise and hope. Markus has described his serigraphy as a "beautiful struggle." This illustrates his continuously evolving and difficult process in which he works with many layers of colors, textures, and intricate details.
