Mark Pol

Artist Bio

Mark Pol, International Dutch artist. Mark Pol's interest in drawing and painting started in primary school. Later on, he went to the Photo Academy followed by the Free Academy of Art led by George Lampe, both in The Hague. The work of Mark Pol is in essence inspired by daily human life, without losing its vulnerability and animal unpredictability. Despite the timeframe the painting or drawing might seem to be in, humanity is key in his work.

In the early stage of a painting, Mark Pol draws his thoughts and dreams with a pencil and then continues his vision with a basis of oil - or acrylic
paint on canvas. The expression of Mark Pol is often too much for the two-dimensional canvas and the result is a three-dimensional world, shown in different materials.
