“These latest large bodies of paintings are both mystical and allegorical. In MARK, we have a truly Renaissance man…” [Anthony Fawcett]

In 1989, he established his first studio at the Praterinsel in Munich, positioning himself as a pioneering figure among established artists. During this period, he engaged in intensive sculptural work, creating large installations primarily forged from steel, often accompanied by live performances. Collaborating with notable artists such as D. Byrne, Stelarc, J. Whiting, Air Liquide, [etc.] he gained significant exposure in various exhibitions in Europe, America and Asia. In 2000, Mark relocated to the Península de Osa in Costa Rica, where he shifted his focus to natural resources, particularly bamboo, leading to the creation of "Bamboo Rocks." He initiated a “lifestyle experiment” called Ojo Del Mar, which evolved into a recognized nature refuge and advocated for environmentally sound building methods, including constructing the tallest natural build tower in Central America. In 2003, he debuted an installation and live performance project at the Museum of Contemporary Art in San José, further solidifying his presence in the art world. Mark's paintings, characterized by mid to large sizes, feature dynamic strokes combined with innovative techniques, along with his current work including live painting. His main work cycles are ‘THE IMPACT PHENOMENON’/ THE MENTAL ASPECT/ MIND ATTACK/ THE ATMOSPHERIC EXPERIENCE/ THE BIOTOPE CONTAINED/ NATURE IN DEFENSE/ MIND EXTINCTION/ DARK LIGHT/ MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE, INTO EXISTENCE and OTHERWORLD. He continues to live and work in the Pacific jungle of Costa Rica as well as in Europe, where he draws inspiration from his surroundings.
