Marco Tulio

Born in Medellin, Colombia in 1966, Marco Tulio began his artistic endeavors at a very early age; with both of his parents as artists, Marco has been painting since he was very young. His father, an artist, Guillermo Spinosa instilled in him an appreciation of art,
In Spinosa's Studio. He began the study of traditional western painting.
falling in love with the work of the old masters, Marco practiced, refined, and has perfected his classically inspired scenes.His human figures are the modernized version of the Classical figure; meanwhile, he adds elements of surrealism, and plays up color and texture to make each piece seem so impossibly real! Beyond the chiseled bodies and near-to-perfect, idealized human figures, he pays homage to his South American culture providing elements of mythology and mystical imagery that is unique to a Marco Tulio painting. An increasing admiration for his figures is largely due to the rich color and texture he paints; he makes the image on the one-dimensional canvas appear tangible and three-dimensional
