Mario Angel

Mario Angel is a Colombian-born, Canadian-based contemporary artist working primarily in acrylic on canvas. Trained at the University of Fine Arts in Medellín, he developed an enduring interest in symbolism, abstraction, and narrative. After a career outside the arts, he returned to painting full-time following retirement, focusing on semi-abstract compositions that explore identity, consciousness, memory, and transformation. His ongoing series examines the space between the tangible and psychological, using layered forms, restrained palettes, and intuitive mark-making to invite reflection and engagement with ambiguity.
