Mark Segal

​Mark Segal was born in New Haven, Connecticut. He received his BFA in Illustration from Paier College of Art and MFA in Painting from The Academy of Fine Arts in Perugia, where he lived for four years. While studying Italian culture and language, his interest in Chinese painting and calligraphy led him to learn Mandarin Chinese. Mark currently based in both Connecticut and China where he teaches art.

From a young age, he took inspiration from and interest in drawing all that was in front of him. His painting of landscapes are the natural extensions of those roots in drawing. His use of water media shows traces of Chinese painting as well as minimalism. The work is a contemplation of space, texture and forms that weaves in between figuration and abstraction.
