Born in Seoul, South Korea, on September 14, 1949, Myung “Mario” Jung is an internationally acclaimed artist recognized for his richly textured paintings. He graduated from the Seoul Industrial Junior College in 1971, and in 1986 gained widespread recognition when he was awarded the Grand Prize for Western-style painting at the Exhibition of Fine Art of the Seoul Artists Association. Following this success, he was invited to become a lifetime member of the prestigious Seoul Artists Association, where he has been actively involved.

After this early success, Mario experienced a catastrophic third-story balcony fall which left him paralyzed, blind, and deaf. His remarkable recovery—sparked by a profound spiritual vision—astonished medical experts, friends, and family alike. Regaining his strength and senses, Mario returned to his passion with renewed purpose, refining his distinctive artistic style.

His versatile talent and diverse artistic range have contributed to his growing popularity among collectors and art enthusiasts worldwide. See less
