artist bio& Artist Statement
Marqel Wilson is a 20 - year old self - taught artist born and raised in Colorado. He graduated from Crestview High School, and attended Northwest Florida State College. He has worked at Burger King for a year before moving due to my family being military. He comes from a very artistic background. His mother and father both knew how to draw exceptionally well, which in some aspects made him the artist he is today . Wilson’s art style is hyperrealism or photo realism. He started his journey into realism at the age of ten. Seeing how good his mother’s art was, inspired him to reach her level of expertise. As he got older his love for art wasn’t as prominent because of his love of sports. Nonetheless, he rekindled his relationship with art and is now ready to show the world what he can do. This last year has presented many new beginnings in his life including marriage, a new state, the changing of his name and now his first solo art show. He is very excited to be showing his development as an artist in the different mediums he is presenting.
