EDITION SOLD OUT FROM MD STUDIOS - CONTACT US FOR GUIDANCE ON STOCKISTS WHO HAVE AVAILABILITY
- I felt compelled to create this piece as a fitting tribute to Her Majesty the Queen on learning of her passing. Not because I claim to be a die-hard ‘Royalist’ but because of the incredible connection that she had with so many people, for the majority it is all we have ever known. She was a truly remarkable woman and will be greatly missed and forever adored.
I, like so many others find a connection because of our grandmothers, mine – ‘Mary’ was a similar age when she passed and was a remarkable lady. I pride myself on creating art with meaning, and with ‘Love Knows No Bounds’ I feel that this is proudly personified. What we see can be interpreted how you choose, the scene can either represent Her Majesty returning home in spirit or at a point in her lifetime. It really is how you choose to view the scene and what brings you most comfort.
I have strived to show the strength of connection and love between one another, be that her beloved Corgis, her majestic horses, and that wonderful little bear that we all love. There is also that sense of connection with Windsor and her love for all things that flower. A winding path cuts through the most beautiful of wild meadows as it twists towards the most amazing light behind the castle.
What I am so pleased with is how, whilst creating this piece, I learned how a beautiful shard of yellow and pink light shone down on Her Majesty’s coffin during the procession. That just makes what I have created even more perfect. For those who follow my work, you will know that I use butterflies regularly to represent being set free, whilst the sight of a white dove flying upwards towards another with wings open is something that I hope will connect with so many for many a different reason.
I felt an enormous pressure whilst creating what you now see because I am aware of the importance of doing Her Majesty justice and I am so proud of the results. I hope that this piece can be shared and enjoyed by so many and that it brings you much needed comfort, and joy. X

A global collector base has seen hundreds of original works sold, making him a respected and successful artist within the contemporary art world.
Mixed Media British Artist Mark Davies was born in Bedfordshire in 1978 and studied Fine Art within the region with his early works being inspired by the compositional qualities of Piero Della Francesca and Giuseppe Arcimboldo whilst finding inspiration in the surrealism of Salvador Dali. Now living in St Neots Mark works full-time as a professional artist as part of the MD Studios set up from his beautiful, converted brick barn studio within the Cambridgeshire countryside.
Mark’s signature ‘Storyteller’ and 'Lost in Hollywood' collections showcase his ability to conceive and implement his own narrative to cherished fairy tales, classic fictional stories, and iconic movies to stunning effect. Inspired by the eloquence of Hans Christian Andersen and ingenuity of the Grimm Brothers, a whole host of much-loved stories have been turned on their head with each chapter being re-written as Mark embraces the often much more sinister plot and motives of the original authors that most don’t know exists as these classics are re-told to generation after generation.
As well as creating mesmerizing imagery full of detail there has always been a subtle and genuine moral quality to the work created to make you think a little deeper. Mark’s original works have created such a wonderful interaction between artist and audience as each searches out the detail and pieces together the plot with the hope that they can get an insight into Mark’s thinking whilst being encouraged to offer their own interpretation of what they see or often don’t see within the image. This genuine engagement has played a significant part in Mark’s gallery shows and appearances being so successful and truly special events.
As the body of work has grown so has Mark’s reputation for creating art with genuine meaning, art that stands on its own and that is driven by a fascinating multi-layered narrative like no other. His skill of storytelling has expanded across other areas including stage and screen as he delivers his signature style across a broad range of subjects and genres that continue to pull on the heart strings and embrace nostalgia and the memories that we all hold so fondly. In addition to building a solid gallery presence, Mark’s success has seen his work proudly displayed and selling within iconic venues that include the London Playhouse and Fortune Theatre within the iconic West End along with the highly respected Mall Galleries in London.
2023 has been another incredible year for Mark as his career continues to evolve. Most noticeably has seen the creation of 'The Hive' - a stunning creative gallery space within his studio that now proudly displays his artwork in a striking and engaging environment that allows his collectors to get up close to a diverse range of artworks. In addition to this, Mark's presence in America has strengthened as the result of a wonderful charity event that saw him create a special original piece that sold for more than $16,000, raising much needed funds and awareness in the fight against Alzheimer's.
With an incredible work ethic and a genuine respect and appreciation for his collectors, combined with a solid platform that the MD Studios brand offers, the future continues to look exciting for Mark. A growing list of celebrity clients and commercial projects along with an established gallery presence has led to Mark being a highly collectable and hugely respected British artist.
