Born in Altus, Oklahoma, Mario Andres Robinson is a realist artist working in graphite, watercolor, pastel, and oil. Robinson studied at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. In 2014, Robinson was chosen to be a Brand Ambassador for Winsor and Newton art materials. He is the author of "Lessons in Realistic Watercolor," a comprehensive guide of the artist's watercolor techniques (Monacelli Press).

Containing few references to modern life, Robinson's work has a timeless and universal quality, with reference to a bygone era where solitude and reflection were abundant.
