Mario Robert
Mario Robert is an artist from El Paso Texas and a fourth generation carpenter inspired by comic books, movies and ancient civilizations. Using the wood's own grain and knots, he first develops the main idea of the painting. He then paints and sometimes carves the wood and is able to convert his simple materials into stunning art pieces. Each piece is an explosive colorful experience. Following the Mexican "Day of the Dead" folklore, he begins to add his new take on a very old tradition of storytelling and creating new tales both with or without words.
