His work is distinguished by a deep understanding of the Golden Ratio.<br \/>\nHe is constantly searching for the right answer and the most creative solution in floral design.<br \/>\nLike Bart, he can create powerful work with relatively few materials thanks to his strong theoretical foundation.<br \/>\nWhere Bart often prefers monochrome designs, Mark works more frequently with colour and decorative elements.<br \/>\nAchievements include:<br \/>\nBronze Medal \u2013 World Championship Floral Art 2004<br \/>\nChampion \u2013 Beijing World Flower Art Contest 2019<br \/>\nBest in Show \u2013 International Flower Contest Japan<br \/>\nInterflora Australia Champion<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div contenteditable=\"false\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>The IMF examination<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The program culminates in an extensive practical and theoretical examination.<br \/>\nBefore the exam, students receive two preparation days at the school so that everyone can start the examination under equal conditions.<\/p>\n<p>During the practical examination, students complete four different design assignments, which are assessed for both technical skill and creativity.<br \/>\nThere are six hours in total to complete all four assignments.<\/p>\n<p>The jury consists of four Master Florists, one of whom has not taught the group in order to ensure impartiality.<\/p>\n<p>Homework assignments (assignment books) and botanical knowledge are also included in the final assessment.
