About Mars
I'm a self-taught artist based in Edinburgh creating figurative work without the use of models or photographic reference. This is facilitated by an extensive knowledge of human anatomy and ardour for the human form. My work is greatly informed by an avidity for art history and is always in dialogue with it - not in the interest of fastening myself to a worn-out traditionalism, but in order to stand firmly upon the shoulders of giants. Through my art I explore the interaction between, subjectivity, memory and learned technique in the creation of human 'presences' - conveying a pronounced interest in giving form to the inner person.

Open to all levels my lessons will be focused on supplying the student with the skills and tools to achieve their own artistic ends. Whether one's interests lie in fine art or illustration - no matter what the style or subject - I aim to furnish the mentee with sound principles of art ranging from: -Colour Theory -Simple to complex perspective -Composition -Structure/form -Light and shade -Gesture -Proportion Beyond the practical aspects of picture making, I can also provide mentorship in developing the "why" and "what" of art making. Helping the student to develop a personal art practice, nurturing a clear artistic vision for themselves, based on their own loves, passions and inspirations to enliven and enrich the pursuit of art making.

All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Mars.
Perfect! He is amazing! He's clear, so helpful and patient and very easy to understand. He goes above and beyond too. In two sessions he has already greatly improved my understanding. For the best outcome, I highly recommend noting strengths and weaknesses and practicing what you have learned from each session in your own time so it really sticks. So happy!
Perfect! Anyone can be good at their job or be a good artist, but transferring knowledge and teaching requires a different kind of intelligence, patience, and technique. He does this very well, and I am definitely very satisfied.
- Incredibly keen and observant, I was impressed by Cem's ability not just to listen but to do so with intent and focus. His patience with the process of learning and his commitment to understanding make him an excellent student.Mars's response :
Perfect! I absolutely loved the first lesson with Mars, it was packed with informations, we analised my style of drawing and came to a few conclusions, how could I improve it.
Mars is very funny, charismatic, but also calm and patient, I do everything my own way and he wasn't tired with it at all hahah. Could feel him wanting to know my art education story and ready to help me in whatever direction I choose to go. Thanks for that!
My style is very abstract, colourful and for long time I wanted to practise some fundamental drawing skills, like anatomy drawing or life drawing, especially portraits. Mars helped me to understand that it's neccessary to have fundamental knowledge of human's body, even if I draw abstract, very simple illustration and it will help me to produce even better art with it.
After introduction, we started with basic head drawing and then we went into details, it gave me a lot confidence and I already know I will use it in my illustrations. This knowledge helped me to create more interesting characters and finally I got rid of anxiety, which I had when I was drawing people’s faces. Even after 1 hour it just got easier! :) He also recommended me a lot of books and tutorial videos, shared what is happening in Edinburgh's art scene.
I came back very very inspired, especially looking at his work’s ethics and art he produces, seeing his sketchbook full of notes and outstanding art is just an art lesson itself.
Highly recommend, great person and thank you for this meeting!- Magda is exceptionally inquisitive and open to critique and question. Driven and motivated to go above and beyond what is covered in the lesion, she is a joy to converse with and explore all aspects of art and design alongside.Mars's response :
Really enjoy our lessons Magda! Great stuff~
