After studying at the National School of Decorative Arts and the National School of Fine Arts in Paris, Marc Bankowsky first learnt painting. His meeting with the painter José Fabri-Canti led him to Corsica to create Cyrne Arte where he learned about frescoes and mosaics.

In the 1970s, Marc returned to Paris after a detour to Switzerland, where he discovered and learned weaving. His Huge hanging cocoons the "Nacelles" met with huge success, particularly at the biennials of tapestry in Lausanne. 

Museums and Houses of Culture exhibit his works. For its opening, the Center Georges Pompidou commissioned a monumental work, installed in front of the entrance. His taste for objects led him to work in the 1980s with bronze, to which he has since dedicated himself, reviving his mythological roots. 

The forces of nature, through the plan, mineral and animal world, become furniture and objects of bronze, plaster and resin. In his commissioned pieces, Peter Marino asked him to make stools and silverware for Christian Dior.
