Mark Moore

I grew up in Philadelphia surrounded by art, the sites of everything around me always inspired me ever since I was little. I’ve always been passionate about creating, whether that be the idea of something concrete or abstract. I recently just graduated in May 2026 with my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Arts, and I can now proudly and confidently say this… I am a Black Queer Visual artist whose work hones in on the idea of representing and exploring one’s identity. In my work, i use a wide range of techniques to convey the message that I want to share which is the positive representation of being Black, Feminine, and Gay in America. My work pushes back against social constructs and norms and rebels against the boxes and stereotypes that minorities such as myself are put in, my goal is not only to make my voice heard but also give a voice to others like me who don’t have the proper support, channels, or resources to speak up form themselves. My work has centered around this concept of personas and different layers of my identity, the world in which I create my characters is called, Mark’s Mingling Metaverse. In this world, different layers and aspects of my identity come together to contribute to the person that I am as a whole. My work is shared and created through mediums such as Makeup Art, Painting Photography, Digital Art, Animation, and Printmaking. I not only want my work to inspire others, but I also want it to make a difference and shape the world around me, building a community and safe space for others to feel comfortable sharing their stories.
