Geboren in 1937 in Alkmaar in een artistiek milieu van journalisten, schrijvers en acteurs, groeide de jonge Mark vooral op in het door oorlog geteisterde Nijmegen nadat zijn moeder hertrouwde na het overlijden van zijn vader.
Na de academie in Arnhem verliet de 23-jarige kunstenaar zijn vaderland in 1960, vestigde zich in Parijs en begon zijn artistieke loopbaan en volwassen levensloop.
‘Kunst en het Leven’ zijn voor Brusse een twee-eenheid, niet te scheiden. Deze kunstzinnige levensloop voert hem op talloze reizen rond de globe. Er zijn weinig plaatsen waar hij niet is geweest, op veel plekken staan monumentale beelden van hem en overal heeft hij kunnen werken. Hij doet dat nog altijd tot op de dag van vandaag in zijn Parijse atelier of aan de kust op de uiterste punt van Bretagne.
