Mario Angel's early propensity for drawing and painting led him to obtain a degree in Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts in Medellin, Colombia. Here, he cultivated his skills in drawing and learned watercolor, acrylic and oil painting.
His move to Canada interrupted his career as an artist but not his interest in developing and applying his talent. Once he was able to focus on his art, Mario was easily accepted to participate in various juried exhibitions, garnering several wins and People's Choice Awards.
As an artist of 60 years, Mario continues to express his artistic expression using various techniques he has perfected over the years. To his delectation, his work has been exhibited and sold all over the world and he continues to create pieces that raise questions, cause intrigue, and delight the viewers of his artwork
