Magno Relojo
Magno is a Filipino-born contemporary realist painter who prides himself
as being a student of the “Old School” style of painting. He is inspired by
paintings that are universally timeless and have been passed down by
Great Masters of the Golden Age. Mango’s paintings have a touch of
contemporary fusion to present the viewer with a new visual poetry.
Magno received his BFA at Feati University Fine Arts, Philippines. Post
graduation paths led him toward careers in graphjg design as an Art
Director for Ad Agencies, Publications and International Corporations. He
also owned a wall finishing and mural painting company. These creative
careers provided him the tools to think with passion and imagination. He
gained professional recognition in these design based careers.
Magno credits his college professor Ibarra dela Rosa for instilling the
appreciation and love for the arts. He studied oil portrature under the
wing of Carin Hebenstreit. Carin’s style of classic renaissance portraiture
inspired and directed Magno’s growing love for technique and realism.
He works out of his Latonia, Kentucky studio.
