Mark Grieves

Born in North Shields in 1971, Mark Grieves has turned his passion for art into a successful career as a painter. He believes his artistic talent has shaped his life, enabling him to create captivating works that evoke emotion and narrative.

Mark’s distinctive approach involves starting with a completely black canvas, layering highlights to build depth and contrast. This reverse method, combined with his keen eye for composition and light, results in paintings that are both intricate and powerful. His acclaimed musical series quickly sold out, and his original pieces and limited edition prints remain highly sought after.

Despite early setbacks in his education, Mark found his way into the art world through photography, which refined his artistic vision. Today, he is a fully self-published artist, known for infusing life into his compositions with small human-like figures, which he believes are essential to the stories he tells.

Mark Grieves continues to inspire and captivate audiences with his evocative works, celebrating the beauty of imagination and the art of creation.
