Mark Acetelli is a contemporary artist featured in our current exhibition, “FIELD OF INNOCENCE.”
This exhibition is curated with the intention of showing work that possesses a sense of spontaneity. During Acetelli’s process, he intentionally releases any attachment to the end result, allowing his conscious and subconscious mind to freely create. It is within this process that we see his immense ability to capture the perfect mélange of the physical and the spiritual.

In a new exercise of minimalism, Mark calls this series of work “Passages” where he explores a new realm of color and tones that he hasn’t used before. He finds inspiration in the ever-changing elements of love, loss, birth, and transformation.
