Marc Bacall (b. August 4, 1984) is a mixed media artist based between the San Francisco Bay Area and the Philippines. A graduate of San Francisco State University, he spent over a decade teaching art and leading award-winning student programs—an experience that continues to shape his creative process.

Bacall’s work explores the fleeting, fragmentary nature of memory—how it fades, shifts, and re-emerges. Inspired by the California landscape and his travels abroad, his paintings incorporate imagery drawn from coastlines, roadkill, fire, and forgotten places. Using layered collage, glazes, and found materials, his compositions unfold gradually, encouraging repeated viewings—like “I Spy” books or hidden Easter eggs in film.

Each piece becomes a site of quiet reflection, where personal and natural histories overlap in states of transformation.

Bacall is currently focused on expanding his full-time studio practice and is seeking gallery representation.
