A Black and White Portrait
Here is another commissioned portrait made by Mark of one of his clients, Ms. Zharmagne Dizon. This time around, Mark shows us how a black and white portrait still seem as stunning as that of a colorful painting without its details being stripped down from it.

Painting on Shoe Canvas
Paintings can be done in different mediums and varied grounds. Here Mark shows us that he can also paint portraits on shoes. Having this kind of personalized shoes would make one stand out since you aren't only wearing your own personal style but you also carry with you an impressive artwork.

Bedtime Stories-A Series of Recent Artworks
Don't we just miss having to listen to bedtime stories when we were still children?
These bedtime stories were relive in a series of recent paintings created by Mark himself. He was inspired to paint characters and elements from different fairy tales and children's stories since he himself enjoyed listening to and reading children's storybooks.
Here are just some of Mark's paintings which are part of his 'Bedtime Stories' series.

The Art of Magic Realism
Magic realism is a genre of art in which magical elements blend to create a realistic atmosphere that reaches a deeper understanding of reality. The story explains these magical elements as normal occurrences, presented in a straightforward manner that places the 'real' and the 'fantastic' in the same stream of thought. It was also described as 'something that happens when a highly detailed, realistic setting is invaded by something 'too strange to believe.'
In one of Mark's recent works, the first of his series is just a sample of some of his artworks injected with magic realism. Shown here is his self-portrait being depicted as one who transforms into a frog, thus, a picture of a modern-day frog prince.
