The Artist

---

Santa Fe artist Mark Frossard creates custom themed paintings for Concordia Santa Fe, one for each concert. These paintings serve as basis of the posters and postcards used in the marketing of our concerts.
 
Working only with a generic concert theme, Mark paints a beautiful, colorful and magical canvas that captures the essence of the upcoming concert.  In his own words,

" I explore my ideas by painting on canvas.  Working with acrylic paint is quick and forgiving.  I can sketch and rearrange my figural composi- tions without extensive drying time.  The characters exist in abstracted environments.  bold lines to push and pull the compositions into focus.  This illustrates the importance of the human interaction.  The intimacy of the subject matter calls for a small format.  I utilize animated colors to provide additional meaning to the paintings.  The texture is composed of flat areas of color, overlapped by lighter washes."

Mark graciously donates his talent to Condordia Santa Fe.  Please visit him at www.markfrossard.com.
