The Works of Mario Garza                        

“I was 20 years old when I purchased my first 35mm SLR Minolta XE 5 camera and began taking serious black and white and color photos.  I’m a self-taught artist using a variety of mixed media to produce subtle to bold dramatic portraits and landscape paintings. I use my photography and digital imagery to pursue a photorealism style of painting. By using my digital images as a model, I am able to get a unique representation of a one-of-a-kind original work of art. My inspiration comes from portrait artist John Singer Sargent, Wyeth, the Photo Secessionists and the Abstract and Neo Expressionists of the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s.” --- Mario Garza
