Persistence and Excellence- Pastel and Watercolor artist Mario Robinson
Jun 4, 2015
Mario Robinson talks about how remarkable teachers guided him
towards his art. After two years in the U.S. Army he attended
Pratt, the combined experiences shaped his drive and lead him to a
quest for excellence in watercolor and pastel portraiture. Mario
describes why he gifted a portrait to Spike Lee and what he thinks
of the experience now.
Mario's paintings contain few references to modern life which gives
them a timeless and universal quality. The subjects he chooses
refer to a bygone era where solitude and reflection were abundant,
also provoke frequent allusions to the watercolors of Winslow
Homer.
