The portrait captures the essence of Mark Leibler AC , a prominent Australian known for his unwavering dedication to the principles of justice, both legal and social. Through his tireless advocacy for Indigenous Australians and people worldwide, Mark models the best of human values . Using iridescent oil colours to reflect light and bring the shimmering artwork to life ,the portrait commands attention. A glimpse of Marks life is depicted by a desk , busy with legal documents and , photos of Mark with world leaders, against a backdrop of evocative Aboriginal art (reproduced with permission from Paddy Bedford estates

My professional background as an artist spans over the years from 1971 . 1991 I did further studies at Darlinghurst art school on portraiture . My paintings and portraits show an infusion of striking oil colours that are renowned for representing the subject using a unique colourful palette of iridescent oil colours . The kaleidoscope of vibrant colours bring the traditional sty of art into the contemporary by allowing the work to come alive and shimmer when lights reflect on it .
