STATEMENT

My name is Mario Sostre. I am an mixed-media collage artist. I use images that I have created or appropriated from different sources magazines, books, Internet, etc. I then combine these images with all sorts of mediums, acrylic, watercolour, pastels to form the final work.

These images are from my new “Totem” series on canvas.

“I am inspired by everyday life and experiences. I use the world around me to create.”
