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 portrait was painted from reference photographs taken in 2018 of model Liv Sage. I think the 16" wide and 20" tall format is a perfect scale for portraiture. In this work I focussed on refining my skin rendering technique. I left the fabric of her blouse loosely painted to bring the viewers eye to her facial features.
You may purchase this work with or without a frame. I'm recommending the German Silver Metal Picture Frame with a 1/4" gap all around, but since the work is not yet framed, you may choose another style floater frame from American Frame Company, if you wish.
