Bortolo Marola

I was born in Marola di Chiuppano, Italy. Art for me has been a life long journey of exploration, which began when I won all three top prizes in a national art competition while still in grade school.As a multi-media artist my work is all about emotion, color, and design. It is about capturing and distilling the moment of inspiration, that evanescent spark that stimulates my imagination, urging me to shout with joy at the sight of a sunbeam filtering through the silence of a mist-shrouded shore, and share my vision with the world.

I'm a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists. I studied art at the American School of Art in Minneapolis, USA, and at the Kootenay School of Art, Douglas College, and Kwantlen University College in Canada.
