"...natural and radiant light is at the heart of each of my works."

Mark Joseph Williams

Evoking a sense of wonder and emotion, Mark's classical style of painting makes full use of the striking contrasts between light and dark - whether in the captivating and luminous clouds and skies or the glistening of the meditative waters below, Mark says, "natural and radiant light is at the heart of each of my works."   Mark has been a traditional fine artist since 2001.   A distinct talent for capturing the essence of modern subjects, Mark embraces a classical style unique to mainstream art today.   Grounded in the principles of time-honored traditional study, Mark is greatly influenced by works from the Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo periods.   Like the classical artists before him, his paintings present a beauty and sensuality that resonates deeply.   Portraits, landscapes and still life abound in an impressive and diverse portfolio; yet, Mark's affinity for seascapes is undeniable.   "Being in nature or on the water, I feel a sense of inspiration and hope," says Mark. Serene waters of an isolated lakeside cove or raging, unbridled waves on an ocean bluff, Mark's seascapes touch one's senses completely.
