Marc Noël Avatar: When the invisible becomes visibile…

Saturday, September 06, 2025, starting from 6:30 PM at Cultural Hypogeum of the Lega Navale Italiana Sezione di Matera-Magna Grecia in Via Fiorentini 103-107, in the Sassi of Matera is scheduled for the opening of Marc Noël Avatar: When the invisible becomes visibile…, the solo exhibition of the Belgian artist Marc Noël Avatar.

It will be possible to visit the exhibition from September 06 to 20, 2025, from Tuesday through Sunday, from 10 AM to 12 PM and from 5 PM to 7 PM. Entry free.

The solo exhibition is curated by art historian Dr. Carmela Loiacono, promoted by Lega Navale Italiana - Sezione di Matera Magna Grecia and MaterAcqua, with the sponsorship of Comune di Matera, Provincia di Matera and Ambiente Basilicata.

Presentation of solo exhibition and artist:
The idea for the solo exhibition arose from the close collaboration between art historian Carmela Loiacono and artist Marc Noël Avatar, who together invested a great deal of time, dedication, and passion in creating a unique and inimitable experience: an invitation to discover something completely new and different, not a conventional art exhibition, but rather an exhibition of quantum paintings. 
Marc Noël Avatar's artworks can be appreciated from three distinct perspectives: in daylight, under UV light, and in complete darkness, where, surprisingly, they remain visible and come to life even in the absence of light. 
The exhibition becomes a discovery, where visitors are invited to perceive these different facets. Each work is imbued with a unique and special energy.

Marc Noël Avatar was born in Belgium and is an internationally recognized artist. His artistic career is atypical and does not stem from classical training. From an early age, he had a passion for pencil drawing. However, it was at the age of 26, following a serious car accident that left him in a coma and forced him into seven years of rehabilitation, that his artistic vision truly evolved.
The rehabilitation period was difficult, but thanks to his perseverance and the professionalism of an exceptional therapist specializing in supporting children with motor disorders, Marc Noël Avatar began to master every gesture and every action, and discovered a growing fascination with the creative process.

Later, the art of Shodo, a Japanese gestural calligraphy, entered his life. He met talented professionals who taught him the power of this discipline, in which each brushstroke is imbued with a vital energy, a breath called “chi.” Today, every brushstroke he creates is charged with this essence. Shodo has profoundly influenced his creations, and he has also developed his own techniques by observing other Japanese artists. 

His approach is unique, fueled by constant self-taught learning. His art, which he calls quantum painting, is inspired by the principles of quantum physics in science, where the observer influences the result.
His works are a reflection of his intention, created in daylight with acrylic paints, featuring a variety of bright and powerful colors, and designed to make the invisible tangible, leaving the viewer with the power to feel, interpret, become, and inviting them to engage beyond mere viewing.
His desire is to create a hypnotic magic, where each observation of a work reveals a new perception, influenced by each person's personal evolution. Those who own his works testify to a continuous experience, discovering new dimensions every day.
Therefore, Marc Noël Avatar seeks to make the invisible not only visible, but also palpable, establishing a deep and evolutionary connection with his art.His approach is unique, fueled by constant self-taught learning. His art, which he calls quantum painting, is inspired by the principles of quantum physics in science, where the observer influences the result.
