Mario Sanchez Nevado was born in Barcelona Spain and currently resides in Spain's capital, Madrid. Mario states on his profile on Behance website that has over 10 years worth of experience illustrating for music bands and publishers. Mario also makes Photoshop tutorials for the Envato Network in Australia and he is the director of "international artistic collective Hysterical Mind" in Spain.

Mario's artistic statement about Betrayal on the website Deviant Art is quite short; he states "A take on civilization. This is what we did. No need to explain further...right."

Mixed Media didn't exist that long ago and it is absolutely amazing what artists can create with the help of technology. I had to include a few digital media medium in my exhibition because digital medium is becoming increasingly popular in this time period. Betrayal is a beautiful art piece that just made me want to sit and analyze it for a while. One of the things I really liked about this photo-manipulation is that if you just look at the left side the picture is colorful, warm, and gives off a good vibe, but looking at the entire picture gives you an entirely complete message. Just like Mario stated we (people) are killing our planet with our pollution that we are emitting. this photo-manipulation shows that by the illustration of a flaming human hand pulling the gun (emitting tons of pollution) to Earth which is killing her (I really like that the water fall appears to be tears).
