ARTIST STATEMENT
My name is MarkAnthony Love. I am a visual artist, who specializes in creating functional and expressionistic pieces that evoke emotion and create a sense of connection via the addition of but not all "bluetooth speakers, touch activated lighting, hidden storage, message boards just to name a few, always through the topic of love. My life experiences and my own struggles with love, has lead to the work I do now. We all know how important love is. But how many of us actively work towards it? How many of us know that "love is about action?"
Most don't know of their purpose or reason for being but I believe I've found mine, the issues we all deal with as individuals and as an race all relates to our status of love, if you're not ok, how can you be your best in this world we're in?
My work is inspired by my passion for art and the emotions it evokes. My goal is to spread love and positive energy through my artwork and to create a sense of connection between the viewer and the piece. I invite you to explore my art and discover for yourself how it can help bring out the best in you. As always remember that SELF LOVE IS THE BEST LOVE!!
