Mark Hicken

I am a figure and portrait painter. I am passionate about the female form…

..I like to photograph my subjects, see “their story” within and turn that into a wonderful oil on canvas.

I started my career as a product designer and over the years I have used all mediums and substrates, from pastels to concrete, in both industrial and private environments.

I love photography, have made friends and work closely with many professional photographers around the world. We often see a different stories in print – some of those I see simply have to be painted!

I have been internationally published, my work can be seen all around the world – sometimes in the strangest of places.

I have painted 1000’s of beautiful people, I have even “coloured in” Lord Gowrie – The Chairman Of The Arts…

Yet my life is incomplete…

..because I haven’t yet painted YOU.
