Biography

Marc is fascinated by the process of creating detailed, representational paintings.

He paints in Acrylic on smooth gesso panels, and his current style and methods are self-taught.  Marc's subjects include, Still Life, Floral and Wild Birds.  In 2024 he was a finalist in 'The David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year', exhibited at the Mall Galleries, London.

Marc is very inspired by photography and cinematography and the range of images these disciplines can create. A shallow depth of field, for example, rendering some textures of a painting soft and out of focus, when contrasted with the more detailed elements of a composition.   He uses these principles to help plan and create depth and balance in a new painting.

Each painting takes many hours to complete, from initial concept, to the finished piece.  Marc’s motivation is quite simple, he wants the finished work to look and feel as real and authentic as possible. “For me it’s about trying to bring the image to life and create an honest representation of the subject, as I see and interpret it, before it leaves my easel”.

Marc has always enjoyed and appreciated viewing many different painting styles, it’s what he loves about art, with all it’s variety.  An artist’s style is of course unique, and theirs to own, this one is his and he hopes you enjoy the experience as a viewer, as much as he enjoys the process as an artist.
