Good morning! Please find useful links below: ► Contact Mark Anthony Hill Instagram: @Markantonyhill ► Support us on Patreon www.patreon.com/jamaicawithirie ► The video about Mark's teacher Mr. Clyde Clarke: ruclips.net/video/YFlfyamLARo/видео.html
I love how Mark introduced himself. That's a man who knows who he is. "I'm originally from Africa born in Montego Bay Jamaica... ". That's profound. He knows Africa is his roots and Jamaica is where those roots spread . His work is beautiful,intense and warm at the same time. I love the black in all his works it's vibrant with the bright colors .
First time , I have ever heard a Jamaican admit that they are African. We will name every ancestor Irish, Chinese, Syrian, Indian Scots, British, even when it cannot be seen going back even 100 years, they are everything except African. Kudos to you Sir.
I thought I was only one of the few Jamaicans who identified myself as African first before anything else. I absolutely love how he introduced himself. His art is simply magnificent. I am gifted in art as well. I lost interest in it to doing sports instead.
What a VERY FINE interview! The beautifully manicured park, the eloquence and profound wisdom of Mark Anthony Hill, the excellent questions - this was almost too grand for us mere mortals. I can't say thank you enough for introducing me to this brilliant artist. What a treasure!
Mark is one of the most intelligent persons I've ever met and I have known him since high school. It's no surprise that his art is different and so compelling
I once watched a young lady in Australia painting on RUclips. Partway, I saw her seemingly demolish a part of what she had and I was saying to myself, "No, no, no you're going to butcher it", but as she continued, the result was far better than what was there before. I told her that in a comment. She replied that she used to think the same way, but "you have to trust the process". And I just heard Mark say those same word, "you have to trust the process". Whatever comes, comes without intent. I also believe in his sentiment about over intellectualizing. So very true. But in regards to value, there are two kinds. The emotional value is yours and the price is yours. The market value is whatever the customer will pay, not what you want. This is why prices at auctions can be bumped up so much. You want $1, but somebody sees a value of $10 only to get beat by someone else who sees a value of $1,000. Just like houses, what the highest bidder will pay is what the market price is. Thank you so much, Irina, for another wonderful and educational video. Great stuff.
This is by far the best Art/Artist interview I have ever seen... Not even knowing the Teacher & or Artist... But he is so articulate in his explanation of everything he has experienced & his views of Picasso & his art... It's Bananas... Great Interview... as I am an artist myself... This dude helped me understand things about my damn self... Tee Hee
Truth… I love the fact that… the idea for any piece just evolves and you have to trust in the process… this is what have been doing… not painting but drawing… with no plan… and it is freeing and I don’t know why I create what I create…
This man is brilliant I am glad for him 99 percent of Jamaican s do not have his mindset. Thus is refreshing. We Jamaicans are narrow minded a lot of us and love money to the point of mental sickness. I am glad there are a few real deep thoughtful Jamaicans left. Thank you brother and the sister for bringing him to the world!! God bless you both.
Blessings Spoon. You was a force on the football field with that foot. Now you are a force in the art world. So proud of you bro. Keep doing your thing.
I know this young man since he was a little boy and I'm feeling honored to know him,im so proud of him and I'm not surprised because he's was a very intelligent kid with lots of manners and curiosity, u go junior.
I always wondered what happened to him after school boy football. He scored one of the most memorable goals in school boy football at Jarrett Park. Some people may not remember him now but his nickname was Sonyspoon
Thank you, Irina, for showcasing this young artist. I enjoyed watching this interview. I think both Mr Hill and his teacher, Mr Clarke, are themselves a piece of art. Both are unique in their style(dress) and thoughts.(reasoning).That to me is also art. I hope there are more teachers like Mr Clarke in the schools today. Love the fact that Mr Hill has shown much appreciation for all the people who were influential in his life. For aspiring youngsters ,he has painted the picture on how to get there. Hard work, determination, sacrifice, and love for whatever it is that he/she wants to achieve. I hope all the kids in the schools watch this video and get motivated.
OMG! Mr Hill, you are a perfect example of Joseph Campbell's words. " There will come a time when your true self will emerge." Can't wait to see ur work. 💓
I think his mastery of the cubist style shows his deep connection with his African roots. A very interesting story, Irie. Thanks for bringing it to us.
Hi Irena. I have been following you for a while now. And I love what you are doing for Jamaica and Jamaicans. I hope to meet you and your family some day. I'm form St James but I'm overseas right now. Keep up the good work. GOD bless
Wow, thank you for this, I couldn’t look away for a moment. I love his spirit, his energy, and his insights. His work does something to me, I wish I could afford them…. Great work Irena
I would die to even have repros of his works..... spiritually,up there above Picasso!!!!.... interesting, articulate, knowledgeable and intelligent!!... Ahsante, great interview!!
Always wondered what happened to my first Art Teacher until I saw your interview..thanks. to you, to show me my best Teacher. (Clyde Clark).. great heart. Pure mind..
Excellent interview. He is a phenomenal and extremely talented artist. I keep telling people, that teachers are extremely how powerful. They can make or break a student. They can inspire them to become the greatest talents in life. Congratulations on a job well done to this artist, and a big Thank you to his art teacher from Cornwall College High school in Montego Bay, Mr. Clyde Clarke for inspiring him and encouraging him to be his utmost best.
God bless this talent .He is truly African.The spirit behind his art is in West Africa possibly Southwestern Nigeria. An Osogbo indigenous artist will easily embrace this man as an indigene.
Didn't think for a second that I would be able to spend this much time listening to an artist speak. Well done. I found out I had a great talent for drawing at 5 yrs. young. Everyone showered me with praises for my talent to this day but not 1 person told me that I could become an Artist. Until I became a Musician.
Irina, you out did yourself on this one-intriguing, interesting, fascinating and absolutely spellbinding. Mr. Clarke’s influence on Mark Anthony is evident. Teachers don’t know the power they possess. Thank for another great video, I enjoyed it tremendously.
This Jamaica brother speaks the truth. There's something special about Africans artists that the world is struggling with, but the time has come for Africans to take their rightful place in Artistry.
Picasso... Visited a museum that had a major Art Exhibit featuring African Art & African Masks... & That's how I his art changed into what he's known for nowadays
A blessed Sunday to you and family Irie! I just love this video ! The interview is a motivational lesson from this great Afro/ Jamaican Artist, Mark Antony Hill. Thank you Mark for sharing your story ! 🙏❤️🇯🇲🇨🇦
This has to be one of the most intriguing and intellectual videos I have seen and I'm not saying this from a stand point of an unlearned person. Wonderful rich commentary and such a history that escapes many. Thank you Irie and may the Most High Father continue to be with Mark Anthiny.
Outstanding Interview Irina! Great questions! Mr. Hill: I am in awe of you, your art and strength and determination. Thank you both for sharing so much of yourselves with us. 🖤💚💛
Awesome. The time spent taking this in was time well spent. A truly intriguing, illuminating, stimulating, inspiring... and entertaining interview. I've got a big dumb smile on my face as I write this. Thanks Irena 😁👍🏾🙏🏾👊🏾
What an hidden gem of an interview. I've never heard of this artist. But I will definitely remember the name Mark Anthony Hill. Very educational and insightful. Just subscribed. Thank you
We went to the same high school in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Cornwall College, producing men of might. Big up to our high school art teacher Mr. Clarke, an amazing teacher .
Taking me back to my music and art classes and those wonderful teachers who transported us to a new world of art and music each week. It’s always great to see and hear these great success stories.
Once again this woman educateding us Jamaicans Of our great people people in our country, I remember the documentary on the professor of art mister clark, I'm noticing this man striving from him is outstanding! He's also very intelligent
I've known Mark since I was 18 I was the young pup of the group. He's always been very scholarly and intelligent. Also, I'm glad he stuck with his passion for art. Glad it's all panned out for him and he's doing what he loves.
Great interview, I watched this with alot of emotions, because I was an aspiring artist who never got to persue art as a career. I can't run from art and creativity though because I now bake and decorate cakes and other pastries and I still have a passion for art. This is inspiring and I love the way he answered each question. 💛
Perspective, I have never felt unsafe at Church, A social gathering in Jamaica, even while deployed to the ME and visiting bazaars had I felt so unsafe as I do in Walmarts, Movie Theaters and or place of work due to the hold that mass shootings have on everyday life in the United States.

Deep!
What an intelligent man that keep his culture, language and Jamaican vibes.
Irene I appreciate you finding highly intelligent and talented Jamaicans and showing them to the world
Many of us are and are not
His brutal honesty is a huge part of what makes him and his art so special.
His work seems to lift off the canvas, and that is a testament to true artistry.
What a VERY FINE interview! The beautifully manicured park, the eloquence and profound wisdom of Mark Anthony Hill, the excellent questions - this was almost too grand for us mere mortals. I can't say thank you enough for introducing me to this brilliant artist. What a treasure!

Thank you Irie !!! This is the kind of quality that's missing from local media and they will never admit it 💯💯
🇨🇦 in the house as a Jamaican living overseas this is very informative for me and what a great artist
Irene and Mark, first time in my life I had to pull-up a video like a dancehall selector. Lol. This video going to scratch like a broken record.
The world has been waiting for this artist. Brilliant mind. Uncomparable excellence! Beautifully done interview.
Yes, very powerful art, I’d like to see more people recognize his creations
Respect my brother for that introduction. We are first Africans, that was born outside the continent. They will never take away our Africaness.
A Great Jamaican ARTIST..
He is right on! All art influences or steals from other art. Race has nothing to do with it but cultural and political influence does.
This is by far the best Art/Artist interview I have ever seen... Not even knowing the Teacher & or Artist...

Just expanded my educational understanding of art from a Yaadman. Awesome!
Thank you Irena. This gentleman was so captivating! I learned a lot from him.👍💯🇯🇲🇺🇲
Africa is the great well of inspiration that just keeps on giving.
I always wondered what happened to him after school boy football. He scored one of the most memorable goals in school boy football at Jarrett Park. Some people may not remember him now but his nickname was Sonyspoon

Art is relatable to an extent but the rest is what it is
The legendary spoon in sports and art C.C
Perspective, I have never felt unsafe at Church, A social gathering in Jamaica, even while deployed to the ME and visiting bazaars had I felt so unsafe as I do in Walmarts, Movie Theaters and or place of work due to the hold that mass shootings have on everyday life in the United States.
Incredible dedication - the 2 years living in a van to fund his first expo!! Total inspiration. Wish I could afford one of his beautiful paintings....
Extremely informative. Mr. Hill is captivating!
Big up your Irie. Jamaican have great mine. If thay do the right thingm love your show
