Art Marco & The Eyecon Gallery | Where Creativity Meets Passion

My name is Mark East a UK artist working under the pseudonym of Marco.
Based in the heart of the UK, the Art Marco web site and our new gallery The Eyecon Gallery are more than just platforms—they are a celebration of imagination, craftsmanship, and the transformative power of art. Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a collector, or someone seeking unique, handcrafted creations, I hope I can  ignite your passion and bring beauty into your world. As part of giving back I regularly review artworks from the masters and show you how I have tried to recreate their work. It's a great learning tool for any aspiring artist.

My Story: Crafting Art with Soul

Founded by myself, after retirement, my objective is a desire to share meaningful, evocative artwork with the world. From vibrant paintings to subtle pastels my creations will I hope find resonance with you. Every piece I create tells a story, blending contemporary techniques with timeless inspiration.

Why not take a browse around the new Eyecon Gallery where you will find some original art for sale as well as Giclée prints of my popular works?

My mission?

To make art accessible, personal, and unforgettable. I do not aim to make a profit so all my works cost nothing more than material costs and a small contribution to the running cost of the studio. 

 

My journey began after a busy career which took me all over the world from the Middle East to Australasia and Europe. Retiring several years ago my love for colour, texture, and emotion turned into a creative passion for discovering and producing art in several media. At the same time I want to document my journey of discovery and help those who like myself want to develop their skills and abilities or read about the techniques used and discovered as I create.

Art-Marco therefore, is a hub for original artwork, custom commissions, and curated collections that resonate with art lovers across the globe.
