Meet the Artist: Mario Moreno
What role does art play in your life?
Art plays a very large role in my life, even when I was a kid. It is a constant in my life that's been a source of strength. It also gives me a can-do attitude with life in general. Art has been a great love of my life.
Justice statement:
When it comes to Justice, I have an unlikely affinity with the Viking understanding of this concept, unlikely because I'm not Scandinavian. I'm a descendent of Mexican immigrants, migrant workers, but I believe that it's that upbringing in a migrant culture that connect me to Viking Justice. Both are straightforward and based on common sense with family honor and values at their core. Though not completely egalitarian, women are highly respected in each culture, wielders of considerable powers in their responsibilities. And the idea of Justice in each culture provides a steady anchor in the "Movement & Flow" of life, especially when unexpected and untoward things happen.
Justice provided a continuity in life that is typically outside the control of people.
