Working primarily with glass and acrylic, Chris opened a small gallery in Beaumaris, Victoria, which he named Artflava. This space became a celebration of consumerism through subtlety and images that captivated his audience with vibrant colors and nuanced compositions. In 2022, Chris took his artistic vision a step further, curating a new art gallery-themed short-stay rental called Artflava Haus. Inspired by Banksy's hotel concept, this space encouraged visitors to immerse themselves in Chris' world of the curious, the real, the eccentric, and the off-kilter. More recently, health challenges have prompted Chris to explore new themes and concepts in his work, focusing on the research and exploration of physical and spiritual well-being through subjects like real food, deep breathing, and mindfulness. Throughout his artistic journey, Chris Marie has continuously evolved, seamlessly blending his commercial expertise with a fine art sensibility to create a truly unique and captivating body of work.
