Hans Schwarzkächel, aka Mark Pol, has his artistic name chosen because it resembles the name of the Explorer Marco Polo. As Polo, he discovers and is always looking for new areas. He was born in The Hague, now living in Amsterdam.
He had no other artistic influence. His parents were poor and could not pay for a formal academic study in the Arts. At that time, he knew nothing about art.
He has just his own fantasy. He is a dreamer who never wants to wake up.
Mark received formal training on the Free Academy of Art in the evenings in The Hague and from the Photo academy. He always works alone. He was a loner then, and he still is now. He works, just work, and try to make his art as his thoughts are telling him.
Before he starts to paint, he always makes a sketch on paper. He does not have to wait for inspiration once there is always a sketch available to choose from. Sometimes he dreams about a subject, and his emotions take him away. He then makes scary pictures: no flowers, no lovely sights and no lovely sceneries.
He had several international exhibitions.
