ARTIST BIO:

For Jorge Mayol, there must be a story behind all of his wildlife art, prints and posters; without that story, he would not paint. The deft delineation of his subjects (the viewer easily senses the softness of fur, the bristle of pine needles) reveals his interest in capturing the mystery, spirit, and mood which animate both animal and landscape.

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and raised on the family farm near the rural village of Ayacucho, Mayol became imbued with a deep understanding of both domesticated animals and the wildlife of the surrounding countryside: cougars, peccary, red deer, jaguars. His father, an inveterate doodler, kept the children at the family school busy with rigorous drawing lessons. Mayol's first art, prints and posters were of horses. As a young man, Mayol was apprenticed to the renowned illustrator and anatomist Axel Amuchastegui, whom he assisted in producing a series of volumes depicting world animal life, continent by continent. Ultimately, Mayol chose a more "sculptured" approach toward his wildlife subjects, while precision and detail remain a hallmark of his style.

Light defines shape, color, and texture for the viewer. As Mayol puts it, "Light is the way nature paints." His primary technical concern is illumination; his primary artistic concern is to reveal the interior scene to others through his art, prints and posters. Mayol's success in presenting wildlife with realism and emotive force is reflected in a long-standing international reputation. A world-class artist, Mayol has exhibited his art in London, New York, Buenos Aires, and Milan. He currently resides in Northern California.
