My core values center on artistic excellence, craftsmanship, and authenticity. My platinum/palladium prints are unique for their rich tonal depth, archival quality, and a refined blend of traditional fine art and digital photographic mastery.
Mark Laurence LaRiviere
Painter & Photographer
I create images not merely to depict, but to evoke in the viewer transient emotions and fleeting sensations. The result is an idiosyncratic visual experience, involving both maker and viewer, that bypasses the need for words.
My abstract and figurative works are portals to feeling, designed to resonate deeply with your own experiences.
The emotional responses my art elicits from collectors – moments of joy, peace, or intrigue – are the very heartbeat of my creative practice.
This 18" x 24" oil painting on canvas was one of my first works after deciding to retire and pursue painting in 2016. The subject is my daughter, Lane, and her dog, Bailey, an affectionate English beagle.
I was struck by their deep mutual affection and wanted to capture that moment in a painting, so I had to work from a few photos I took of them interacting near a window and the mid-morning light streaming through it.
I've learned a lot more about painting skin and hair since making this picture and would do it quite differently today. However, there is something about the composition and play of light I still like about it.
It is signed and dated on the back and is available framed or unframed. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
