About "Last Light over Kelly"

"Last Light over Kelly" is a luminous meditation on stillness and memory. In this evocative coastal scene, Mark invites viewers into a moment suspended in time--where the sun dips low, casting golden reflections across tranquil waters. The beached boat, marked with the name 'Kelly,' rests quietly on the shore, its vibrant red interior offering a striking contrast to the soft blues and purples of the sand and sea.

With masterful use of color and composition, the artist captures the warmth of a fading day and the introspective calm that follows. The distant sailboat and shoreline structures suggest life beyond the frame, while the foreground remains intimate and contemplative. This work speaks to the beauty of endings, the grace of pause, and the quiet power of reflection.

A standout piece for collectors drawn to maritime themes, emotional landscapes, and the poetry of light.

About Mark

I'm inspired by the play of light - how it reveals emotion in landscapes, figures, and fleeting moments. My work blends realism with symbolism, using layered brushwork, glazes, and mark-making to explore themes of solitude, transformation, and connection. I draw from history, mythology, and personal experience to create visual narratives that resonate across time and culture.

Whether painting a storm-lit tree, a mythic embrace, or a dancer caught mid-leap, I aim to evoke feeling and reflection. My art is a declaration of what moves me--and an invitation for others to find meaning in the tension between beauty and vulnerability.

As an artist based in South Africa, I'm inspired by the richness of our landscapes and the complexity of our stories. I approach each canvas with both sensitivity and intent, aiming to create work that resonates across cultures and contexts. My goal is to connect - to offer viewers a moment of reflection, recognition, or emotional clarity.

Art, for me, is not decoration -- it's declaration. It's a way of saying: "This mattered. This moved me. This might move you too."
