Mario Bencomo (Born: Mario Luis Diaz Bencomo) July 26, 1953 in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, is an artist. As a youth he was sent alone by his parents to live in Spain. At the age of 14, he left Madrid for the U.S., arriving by himself in New York City in 1968. He often returns to Europe, and for many years now for regular stays in Montreal, Canada. In 1996 he returns to Cuba for the first time, three decades after he left, visiting Cuba periodically since then. He works in Miami and Montreal. His work is elegiac in concept; informed by myth, the ambiguity of form found in the natural world, literature, poetry, art history and personal experience; often blurring the line between the spiritual from the sensual. His work is in the collection of numerous museums, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; Detroit Institute of Art; Norton Museum of Art; Denver Art Museum, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, La Habana, Cuba; Art Museum of the Americas, Washington, D.C.; Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, Minneapolis; Museo de Arte Maria Zambrano, Malaga-Velez, Spain; Frost Art Museum at FIU, Miami; Archer M. Huntington Gallery, Museum of the University of Texas, Austin; Polk Museum of Art, Lakeland, FL; Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, Lowe Art Museum, University of Miami; Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, Panama; Mizel Museum, Denver; Museum of Art, Ft. Lauderdale; State University of New York at Cortland; Lehigh University Art Galleries, PA, among others. == Exhibitions == Bencomo's work is exhibited since 1975 in many individual and group shows at international museums and galleries.
