The Visionary Landscape Art of Mario Jung

Born in Seoul, South Corea on September 14, 1949, Myung 'Mario' Jung began his promising career as a professional artist in the mid 1980s Due to his immediate success Mario was invited to join the Seoul artists association, which he has now been a member of for over 30 years. His life changed dramatically when he was paralyzed, blinded and deafened as side effects from a catastrophic, third story, balcony fall. Not even interested in food, Mario was giving up until he had a spiritual dream that renewed his strength and his will to live. Leaving doctors, family, and friends amazed and perplexed, Mario recovered completely and has since meticulously developed his flexible artistic style. His multifaceted talents allow him to create richly colored landscapes, brimming with texture and warmth, often requiring the use of up to 12 tubes of oil paint.
