A landscape artist who loves the countryside, the volcanoes and the towns of Mexico, which inspired him to produce his work.

His canvases are characterized by a fast and energetic brushstroke, which refers to impressionism, on which Almela has given a special treatment of light.

His works capture the light of dawn, of midday, of the reflection of the sun when it has just rained and the light that illuminates the bodies in a singular way. This is how Mario Almela has earned the pseudonym "Painter of Light and Sun".
