Mark Paul Perry: I love simplicity in form. I portray this through the use of colour and texture on canvas. My paintings are inspired by snapshots of specific moments in time or through memories of particular events in my own life. I endeavour to capture these moods and emotions in the most basic form light, colour and texture which represent their fundamental essence.
