Bio

Marco Rios was born and raised in Chicago and has always had a passion for drawing and creating things from his imagination. He was that kid that sketched during class, and when he didn't have anything to draw on, drew on himself! Art has always been an outlet to stay positive in an environment where life is fleeting and can be harsh.

In 2011, he was in a near fatal car accident that changed the course of his life. It was a challenging and painful experience that taught him to value the small joys of life- ART! This tragedy made him realize tomorrow is not promised and motivated him to attend the University of Illinois at Chicago where he earned a Bachelor’s of Design in Industrial Design.

His Puerto Rican roots, upbringing, and life experiences has molded him into the creative artist who’s use of bold color to celebrate culture and positivity.
