- Episode #99 - Mark Maggiori - Painting Up a Storm and Breaking Records!
Check out the full video version!
🎥 https://www.tisch.academy/Mark Maggiori is making serious waves in the Western art scene right now. His recent show was a total sell-out, with one of his paintings completely shattering records, hitting a massive 1.3 million dollars at auction. But what really strikes me about Mark is just how incredibly dialed in he is. Despite that level of stratospheric success, he’s just completely committed to the craft - he literally went straight back to work at the easel. It’s so inspiring to see someone so authentically engaged in the pure act of painting while operating at the absolute highest level.It honestly feels like he is single-handedly paving the way for traditional realism artists all around the world. They say success leaves clues, and my goal with this episode is to dig a little deeper, peel back the layers, and figure out exactly what he does and how he does it. The man genuinely lives and breathes his subject matter. So, join me for this conversation as we dive into his recent show, his incredible rise to success, his exact process for capturing these mesmerising scenes, and so much more!
