Arcenio Martin Campos

Biography

Martin Campos attended New Mexico State University for studio arts, and then the University of New Mexico for studies in art history. He began drawing on his own as a child, and between schools acquired much of his fine art education from independent study and private instruction in the human figure. From 1999 through 2002 he taught small classes in cast drawing and facilitated open figure drawing groups in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Currently, Martin is attending the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, majoring in painting. Here he is applying his previous mastery of drawing to the worlds of color, composition and most importantly to content. When the weather cooperates, he can be found outdoors, painting both city and countryside in the grand plein air tradition.
