 Armando Chacon is a painter and creator that migrated to United States at the age of self-discovery and personal growth. Originally from Guatemala, Armando’s art career began at an early age of thirteen. As a teenager he won his first art contest, beating over 40,000 students in his native country.  

Armando's surreal style of painting came about after encountering Salvador Dali’s Museum while in high school. This inspired him to develop his own unique surreal approach. During the time he attended college Armando decided to enroll into art classes while getting a degree in Radiology.

Armando has exhibited with various renowned artists throughout his career, from pop artists, to abstract expressionist and realistic genius. One of his passions is painting En Plein Air around town or wherever he travels. One of his latest Plein Air paintings was awarded first prize in one of Georgia’s most sought out contests, the Georgia Color by Olmsted Plein Air Invitational.
