Mark Acetelli – Contemporary Abstract Artist Featured at Conrad West Gallery | Historic Arts District | Las Vegas, Nevada Mark Acetelli is an acclaimed contemporary abstract artist celebrated for his deeply emotional and visually compelling paintings. Now represented by Conrad West Gallery, located in the heart of the Historic Arts District in Las Vegas, Nevada, Acetelli’s evocative works bring a powerful and contemplative presence to one of the city’s most vibrant cultural hubs. Originally from Detroit and now working out of Los Angeles, Acetelli is a self-taught artist whose style is defined by layered compositions, rich textures, and raw emotional depth. Using a mix of oil paint, encaustic wax, and mixed media, he applies each layer with brushes, palette knives, rags, and his hands—creating complex surfaces that reflect the tension between the conscious and subconscious mind. Acetelli’s paintings are described as “simple expressions of complex thoughts,” with recurring themes of love, transformation, loss, and inner reflection. Rather than focusing on representational forms, he aims to capture emotional resonance—inviting viewers to engage on a personal, introspective level. His work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions across the U.S. and internationally, with collectors ranging from Michael Jordan and Bill Withers to major institutions like Universal Studios and the Colburn School of Music. At Conrad West Gallery in Las Vegas’s Historic Arts District, visitors can experience Acetelli’s work up close—within a space known for curating bold, innovative, and emotionally engaging fine art. His paintings are a compelling addition to the Las Vegas art scene and a must-see for collectors, interior designers, and art enthusiasts.
