Matthew Mark was born, raised, and resides in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He is a graduate of MacEwan University’s Fine Art program, and a first generation Chinese Canadian. Mark’s experience of growing up in Western Canada, specifically in Alberta, is incorporated throughout his artwork. When it comes to fine, and contemporary art, Mark mainly focuses on his own style of drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation. He explores and experiments primarily with charcoal, pencil & ink, acrylics, watercolor, oil painting, and sculpture.

When I make art, I try to think about it as something separate from the normal world — as if art is a world of its own. I want others to talk about and analyze my artwork, and I want it to inspire others. As an emerging artist, my goal is to create artwork that is meaningful, powerful and will have an everlasting impact for generations to come.

I approach my artwork like a reporter -- I take what I have seen, heard, read about, or experienced, and incorporate these elements back into my art. The mediums I use range from painting and drawing to sculpture.
