我称我的艺术为“采样现实主义”。采样现实主义是一种将抽象的观念、现实世界和日常生活的心态转化为艺术表现的方式，旨在找到科学与艺术之间的正确平衡。
——Marco Barberio
马可·巴贝里奥(Marco Barberio)，1971年出生于意大利。Marco从来没有上过专门的艺术学校，但一直保持着对艺术和创造力的热情。80年代，Marco对美国涂鸦和波普艺术十分感兴趣。到了90年代，在数字革命和互联网诞生的时期，凭借创业的直觉，对新技术的偏好和对艺术的热爱，Marco创办了一家网络公司并担任艺术总监。由于工作原因，Marco经常到访美国，在这里他明确了他的现实主义绘画的主题：大都会与流行时尚的结合。
Marco把他的艺术称为“采样现实主义”。图像是在数字时代运用采样技术制作的，音乐世界给出了采样的经典例子:现场演奏的乐器的声波被认为是一个“连续”的信号。当一个声音被数字“捕获”时，会发生一个采样过程，其中该信号的信息以一定的频率存储。这样，连续的模拟信号就不连续地变成了数字信号，显然存在一些缺点。但是这个新的数字信号，可以以某种方式存储，被感知为和真实的模拟信号完全一样。在数字时代，我们生活的大部分现实往往被“采样”然后困在电子设备中。同样，在采样现实主义中，图像是通过简化颜色的过程来制作的，这就是一个“采样”。从这个角度来看，颜色没有混合，而是变成了飞溅，曲线之间没有阴影。就像地形学中的等高线一样，或者是断层扫描，其中身体的三维渲染是由分层的样本给出的。曲线与曲线之间或多或少的跳跃隐藏了一些遗漏，这是现代数字生活的一个隐喻。每天我们都会失去一些我们认为不重要的东西，却一点都察觉不到。
与以疯狂的细节为特征的超现实主义不同，采样现实主义与之相反，它倾向于故意省略细节，旨在丢失信息。这些差距不仅反映了我们生活中的缺点，同时也给了我们一个机会，根据我们的知识和经验重新构建一个新的现实。
