His paintings are characterised by the broad strokes he traces across the painting surface, linking them into a unified whole by layering one over the other in an intricate way. The artist creates a strong impression on the viewer with this exceptional gestural painting and direct contact with the painting, which play a key role in the creative process.

In layers of strokes and sequences of dots
The works on display in Bežigrad Gallery were painted by Jože Marinč between 2004 and 2018. The oldest one, called Layers of the World from 2004, is created with many strokes complementing each other in perfect harmony.
The colours and the strokes are cohesive. They exist in seamless balance. The strokes on the canvas are seen as utterly delicate touches. Even the barely noticeable layers, which are at times translucent and even colourless. Between such layers, only the lower layer or several sub-layers are visible.
Despite the multitude of different layers of colour, everything works in harmony. This is true of all his paintings. All strokes bear equal power. They complement each other and build new compositions. In one single painting we find ourselves in and within many representations. Such layers of colour give the impression of depth of the painting and its infinity. We can also easily discern the layering in the apparent backgrounds.
The typically elongated shape of the paintings allows for a glimpse into its very essence. The shape of the human gaze is always elongated. It opens an overview and view of its perfection. Marinč leads the gaze first into the image as a whole and then gradually into its manifold backgrounds.  
Jože Marinč's paintings are co-created by the omnipresent forces that calibrate the shapes of everything we see. The artist's desire is to create paintings that depend on the nature of colours and the energies that give rise to everything visible and invisible. They will either form characters or be expressed by the natural substance of the colours themselves, which he achieves by varying their density. The final form in the paintings is thus co-created by the colours themselves and, of course, by the forces that affect everything in the moment. Jože Marinč did not touch the painting surfaces in the works featuring round shapes. He used a tool resembling a dripper.
To achieve this visual effect of applying paint to wooden plywood, he mainly used a squeegee and painting tools that he himself invented.
One of these innovative tools is the paint dripper, which is a rake-shaped applicator. The paint drips from the elongated upper part with individual pointed elements arranged in a row and onto the plywood surface. In this way, he created circular shapes and circles.
It is the delicate painterly stroke, the gradualness and harmony, and the coexistence of shapes that form the creative credo of Jože Marinč.
