Mark Riwab-Hull is a contemporary artist, who creates performance paintings based on music. His abstract paintings are created in response to live music. His painting's are very interesting, the unconscious actions of the artist, make his painting philosophically intriguing. The use of bright, bold colours is prominent in his work, and reflects the dynamics within music. His work is now very much fascinated in the powerful effect of music and art, which could play on the mind, a subject that continues in his work to this day. Throughout this formative time he became fascinated with the interrelationship between the senses, visual art, music and poetry.

In order to publicise his ideas of visualising music Hull embarked on a series of exciting performances and events involving painting live on stage responding to music by composers such as Messiaen, Scriabin, Debussy, Shostakovich and George Crumb together with Jazz and improvisation. These performances took place in a wide variety of settings including the Royal Academy of Music, Royal Festival Hall, Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral and Ronnie Scott’s Jazz club.
