Mark Cummings is a classical artist. He has experimented with all sorts of mediums over the years in the hope of accomplishing something beautiful and something that glorifies God. After years of self study, trial and error, observation and frustration, Mark moved to Florence, Italy to train at the Angel Academy of Art. This private atelier is focused on traditional technique, composition and rendering of the human figure. Mark recently graduated from the Angel Academy and has now relocated to southern California. His long term goal is to do portraiture and allegorical figure work using the techniques of the masters to enhance his own unique style. Mark is actively seeking commissions for portraits and still-life paintings. Please contact us if you are interested in a commission. Additionally, for the past nine years, Mark has been doing a form of art called 'Italian Street Painting', where artists use the street as their canvas and pastel chalk as their paint.
