Item Description
You are bidding on a Mario Villa original mono print entitled, "The Muse and The Admirers". Signed and created in 1997. It is matted, framed and ready to hang. Overall it measures 39"x27.25".
Mario Villa. Villa is an artist who works in whatever medium suits his interest at that moment: jewelry, architecture, and watercolors—even welding.
Upon meeting Villa, his work—in particular his furniture and interior design—seems to match his personality perfectly. Villa appears as the epitome of the cosmopolitan, man-of-the-world; he exudes a classic elegance that’s never stuffy thanks to his ready smile and twinkling eyes, which immediately put you at ease.
Villa grew up in Managua, Nicaragua, and still retains vestiges of the accent. From an early age he experimented with paint and with welding scraps of metal. He was educated in Europe and the U.S. In 1979, Villa’s family was exiled from their native Nicaragua amidst the Sandinista Revolution. This impelled Villa to settle in New Orleans, where he earned degrees from the University of New Orleans in anthropology and from Tulane University in architecture.
