Artist Emilio Maldonado uses personal reflection and found objects for unique creations

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Visual artist Emilio Maldonado has perfected the art of making creations from physical objects that come into his sphere, and giving them new life in the process.

With degrees in Fine Arts, as well as Painting, from institutions in the United States, in Puerto Rico, and in his homeland of the Dominican Republic, Emilio says he wants to stir the soul and cause intropection in the observer.

He draws inspiration from family to issues of the day, and his internal feelings and opinions are always on display within the works. He has exhibited in solo and group shows around the world, he has worked with Philly's Mural Arts program, and he was the resident artist at the Fitler Club where his work can still be seen.
