Mark Pol
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Mark Pol (born 1943 in The Hague) is an international Dutch artist. His passion for drawing and painting started in primary school. He later went to the Photo Academy, followed by the Free Academy of Art led by George Lampe, 1965–1969, both in The Hague.
The work of Mark Pol is in essence inspired by daily human life, without losing its vulnerability and the 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.
