Mario Bencomo
Mario Bencomo (born 1953 in Cuba) is an artist. As an unaccompanied minor he was sent by his parents to live in Spain. At the age of 14, he left Madrid for the U.S., arriving by himself in New York City in the 1960s. He often returns to Europe, and for many years now for regular visits to Montreal, Canada. In 1996 he returns to visit Cuba for the first time, three decades after he left. An American Citizen, he is based in Miami.
His work is elegiac in concept; informed by myth, the ambiguity of form found in the natural world, literature, poetry, art history and personal experience; often blurring the line between the spiritual from the sensual.
His work is in the collection of numerous museums, including, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach; Denver Art Museum; Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de La Habana, Cuba; Art Museum of the Americas, Washington, D.C.; Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, Minneapolis; Frost Art Museum, Miami; Blanton Museum of Art, University of Texas, Austin; Polk Museum of Art, Lakeland, FL; Lowe Art Museum, University of Miami; Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, Panama City, Panama; Mizel Museum, Denver; NSU Art Museum Ft. Lauderdale, FL; State University of New York at Cortland; Lehigh University Art Galleries; Bethlehem]], PA, among others.
