Mark Keller è un pittore autodidatta statunitense nato a San Francisco, celebre per i suoi dipinti ad olio figurativi che fondono realismo, atmosfere noir e una forte componente narrativa.
Le sue opere sono profondamente influenzate dalla musica e sanno evocare un senso di mistero e romantica solitudine.
Rappresenta costantemente musicisti di strada a New York, suonatori di jazz, ballerini e fumosi bar di tango a Buenos Aires.

L'uso magistrale di luci ed ombre ricorda le inquadrature del cinema noir, dove ogni quadro sembra l'inizio o la fine di una storia misteriosa.
I suoi personaggi sono spesso colti in momenti di isolamento intimo o di riflessione, catturati all'interno di stazioni ferroviarie, stanze d'albergo o locali notturni.
