Mark Schwartz made a name for himself as
an accomplished shoe designer. For the past 25 years, he has traveled
the world gaining inspiration for his ideas from artists like Andy
Warhol, who Schwartz beneficially watched at work and Roger Vivier who
he cultivated his talents with for 5 years. Both Warhol and Vivier
encouraged Schwartz to continue his capricious approach to fabricate
his artistic style of shoes. He is producing exciting work by taking
advantage of the spontaneity and movement that shoes can create when
drawn on paper.

Very
few artists have attempted  what Schwartz is pioneering. Mark
exaggerates the usual way individuals view shoes by playing off the
already artistic shapes of footwear and creates art that exudes
personality. The artist’s work is collected worldwide by both private
and corporate  clients.

“I
have always been fascinated by the shoe , the shape the movement, shoes
create a mood all of there own, they scream sex , they are whimsical
and for me they take on another life in my paintings.”. -Mark Schwartz
