Mark is an artist and set designer born and raised in Brooklyn. Working primarily in charcoal, graphite, gouache, and oil paint, he aims to tell stories that make everyone look a little closer at the world around them, with fresh perceptions and inquisitive eyes.

​

 

He finds inspiration in the sheer amount of happenings on the streets of NYC and the interweaving of cultures across the five boroughs. His ultimate goal is to translate them into a series of narrative driven oil paintings & illustrations showcasing these experiences around NYC; conveying these moments as a love letter to his hometown and how he, as a first-generation Ukrainian-American, fits into this tapestry.
