Markus Schinwald (born in 1970 in Salzburg, Austria) is a multidisciplinary artist trained in music and the applied arts; he is interested in myths, Freudian psychoanalysis and art history.
His practice is characterised by an exploration of the human body, its dysfunctions and constraints, which he brings to life through prostheses and devices that alter posture and appearance. He also alters historical portraits by adding masks or prostheses, creating a strange and melancholic aura that questions the psychology of the subjects. His works explore the unconscious, anxieties and repressed desires.
