M. Häkel is a german self-taught visual artist. Even as a child he was impressed by the "Old Masters" and the late 19th & early 20th century painters. In his paintings he often despicts himself in situations that represent interpersonal relationships in current affairs on a philosophical & psychological level. Here, the humorous consideration is just as important as the deep and serious discussion. As a draftsman, painter & illustrator M. Häkel exhibits his work throughout Europe in solo exhibitions and participations. Currently Marcel Häkel lives and works in Portugal.
