Testimonial's - From actual client's

I have Mark Schwartz shoes from when he designed the actual Shoes. They are fabulous, flirty and chic beyond Sexy..... Now that Mark is designing Shoe Art, I am in awe and wish I could own more that the one painting that I do. I want them all. I have the Pink Ballet Slippers... They are so beautiful and the pinks are so true to life - that the Slippers look like they are whimsically dancing off the paper. One day I will own more Mark Schwartz art. He is a one of a kind designer. Talented. Whimsical, and greater than a Picasso with his flow of colors. Mark Schwartz is my newest favorite Designer. and he designs what I love most. Shoes....

Hola Mark

Last week I was seeing the Daily Painters web site and saw a painting of you titled Stance. I can not avoid to send you my commentaries. It is a very artistic piece, a sort of dance of the seven veils, where you discover it layer over layer. At the first far look it seems an abstract painting, just hurry busy color spots going quickly somewhere. The painting brings a movement sensation in all senses, there are synchronic and soft vertical wavy movements and there are a serial color lines moving along the horizontal plane. When you are nearer it can see to appear may be some organics shapes joined one to other by shivering lines … jellyfishes ? a chinese dragon? …no … you finally discover they are shoes... great! The same vertical color lines you saw at the beginning mutate in those characteristic fast ballerina movements although shoes are in a static stance. Beautiful color mix, specially oranges and purples. It is interesting how color also acts like other element of continuity inside the piece, just a touch of color coming from the above couple of shoes and it reaches a stronger joined composition.

A painting full of color and movement which playfully play with your mind along all the discovering process. Very good job Mark.
Eva Ximena Cabrera - Santiago Chile

I recently bought one of Mark's "Shoe" paintings. Mark's paintings are
unusual in many ways. First, he's a guy and he paints womens' shoes, and
does a great job of it! He uses much or all of the paper and always adds
just the right colors. By the time I got my painting in the mail and got
it unrolled and could really study it, I was hoping he could go the next
step and I could actually OWN those very shoes! I guarantee if he went
"the next step" and really did make them, the only problem he would have
would be to keep them in stock!

After 25 years of designing chic stilettos and sandals in the tradition of his mentor, Roger Vivier, Mark Schwartz knows a thing or two about what makes a good shoe. While most designers easily recognize the artful craftsmanship of this everyday accessory, few have actually dedicated years to capturing its subtle beauty on paper as Mark Schwartz has done throughout his prolific career. So with paintbrush in hand, he has been transforming this three-dimensional object into a visually provocative subject matter with his vibrant, color-saturated paintings.

Schwartz’s paintings capture the unique aesthetics of the pop art movement, while also incorporating the rhythmic brush strokes of one of his idols, Jackson Pollack. In his paintings, the shoes dance in a colorful sweep of abstract, geometric shapes—conveying that very same movement and grace women experience when wearing a stunning pair of his stilettos.

And Schwartz, as both a designer and painter, proves that the shoe can be reinvented again and again, but it is through his paintings, that this every day object is elevated into an iconic art form.

Handy Hints to Successful Art Buying Online

You can make your online art purchasing experiences a lot of fun, and stress-free, if you just take a few moments to follow some tried-and-tested advice.
These hints will give you the very best chance of finding quality works of art, and receiving the art in perfect condition.

1) If you see a piece of art you like on a favourite artist's Blog, don't be afraid to request a couple more photos of the work. Most artists will happily oblige. You might like to see close-up detail of some section... or perhaps an image to confirm the coloring is consistent.

2) Look for the artist's email address. Apart from a direct email contact, artists often post contact phone numbers. They do this for a reason. They would like you to phone them. So do it! If you'll feel better talking to a 'real person' make the call. But I would always recommend making direct email contact with the artist.It's helpful to have a line of communication from the point when you make your purchase, to the point when the work is dispatched to you. Most artists also would like the opportunity to follow up and ensure the work has arrived safely. Don't simply place your order and make your payment. Take the opportunity to communicate with the artist. It will make the whole process run more smoothly.

3) Consider purchasing more than one piece of art at a time.If you fall in love with the work of a particular artist, consider purchasing a piece and leaving it with the artist. Then, when you see another work by the same artist you wish to purchase, ask for both pieces to be sent together. This will reduce freight costs considerably. Most artists will be happy to hold a paid artwork in storage, especially if they realise it's because you wish to purchase a second piece.

4) Email the artist and ask them if they have any artworks not yet posted on their blog.Some artists don't have the time to post every piece on their blog. Or some pieces are displayed, and then taken down after a time. It doesn't hurt to ask the artist to email images of any works they have in their 'stock room'.... and it can be a way to discover secret treasures.

MY WORK

I have been painting shoes as art for over twenty plus years, it is a personal passion of mine that i have enjoyed sharing with thousands of clients around the world.
My work is varied, I do have paintings in my archives for sale, if there is something special in mind just drop me an email, I do a lot of commissioned work as well, I sometimes get clients who want me to paint their favorite pair of shoes, they send me a picture or the shoes themselves.
Most of my work is based off of designs that I have done in real shoes over the years, being a working shoe designer I have a lot of ideas and enjoy putting them down and expressing them in my artwork.
My prices do average from $400.00 to $5000.00. I enjoy reaching all types of clients with all different budgets in mind.
Would love to hear from you if you have a comment or would like a special piece.
Best
Mark

THOUGHTS

I have been designing shoes in Italy for my entire career and I have had the good fortune to work with some of the most recognized names in our industry.
In 1985 while working with Roger Vivier I met Andy Warhol and to make a long story short, it was Warhol who encouraged me to pursue my paintings of shoes as you view them today.
My work is a part of who I am and is a part of my love for shoes and for the life and joy that they bring to so many people around the world.
I am often asked the question, what brings me more satisfaction to design a shoe or to paint a shoe and capture it in a painting?
I love both but I must say that painting a shoe as art, taking a sketch or scribble of an idea and making it into a painting that hangs in someone's home, office or store gives me an exceptional feeling of personal joy and happiness.
I hope you enjoy the vision and expression that I put down on paper, please feel free to email me and share your thoughts at any time, I look forward to hearing from you.
Mark
