In February last year several of his sculptures were selected by the Ministry of Culture in Gibraltar for the 33rd International Art Exhibition. He was subsequently elected a member of the Fine Art Association and was offered a year long exhibiton at the Fine Art Gallery in Gibraltar.
He said: "I have had a lot of positive feedback and encouragement and my aim is to get my work out there so more people see it and recognise it."
Speaking from Hamburg, gallery director Marion Zimmerman told The Crow: "I was looking for talented artists and came across Mark's sculptors on his website.
"I was struck by their form and beauty. He works very sensitively and you can see a lot of things in his work because it's abstract. People will be able to interpret it in their own way.
"They are superb examples of his craftsmanship and dedication. I am sure his sculptures will be greatly admired here in Germany."
