Name: Mario Andres Robinson
Bio: Mario Andres Robinson was born in Altus,
Oklahoma, where he resided with his family before relocating to New Jersey at
the age of twelve. Robinson was encouraged to develop his innate talent for the
expression of visual art by a fifth grade teacher, and thereupon
began building what would soon become a prodigious body of work. Robinson went
on to study at the prestigious Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York.
From the beginning of his career, Mario Andres
Robinson's muse was the work of the great masters: Degas, Rembrandt, Vermeer.
Robinson studied their techniques, deconstructed their works. He continued to subject the work of various contemporary American artists to the same painstaking analysis. Beginning in
1994, Robinson's work began extensively to incorporate rural subjects primarily
located in the state of Alabama.
Mario Andres Robinson is an Exhibiting Artist Member (EAM) of The National
