Love & Antennas is the brainchild of Mario Saviñon

Mario Saviñon is a self-taught painter, illustrator, and classically trained musician. His work explores the connection between visual and audio stimulus, underground sub-culture, and alternative thought movements.  Mario’s art seeks to communicate his inner music through his depictions of mythology, childhood memories, and shamanic practices. While Mario’s oeuvre is diverse, his work is united in his colorful characterization of life and unique storytelling ability.
