Mark enjoys working across multiple artistic genres; as such his creative process and resultant final works retain a dynamism of composition and technique. The artistic style varies depending on the subject, and he likes mixing elements of realism and stylisation, often within the same work. These two features coupled with Mark’s love for the inclusion of vibrant colour have become somewhat of a signature of his working process.
Whether it be portraiture, figurative or landscape, Mark encourages his sitters/clients to reveal more about their persona and their likes, as this encourages an energetic creative identity to art that contains strong narrative features.
