Myung Mario Jung
Mario Jung (Myung Mario Jung) is a Korean artist. Born in Seoul, South Korea on September 14, 1949, he began his promising career as a professional artist in the mid-1980s. In 1986, he presented his work at the Seoul Artists Association's Fine Art Exhibition, where he received the Grand Prize of Western style painting. Due to this success, Mario was invited to become a member of the Seoul Artists Association, of which he has been a member for over 30 years. His life changed dramatically when he was paralyzed, blinded and stunned in a catastrophic fall from a third-floor balcony. Not even interested in food, Mario gave up until he had a spiritual dream that renewed his strength and will to live. Leaving doctors, family and friends amazed and perplexed, Mario fully recovered and has since carefully developed his flexible art style. His multifaceted talents allow him to create magnificent landscapes filled with texture and warmth. Mario is a truly talented artist, whose growing popularity is enhanced by his ability to create a diverse range of works.
