Puerto Rican visual artist ‘Michael Angelo Guadalupe’ is better known by his stage name, Mago. He was born in New York and, when still a little child, his family relocated to Puerto Rico. He specializes in employing artificial intelligence to produce stunning and distinctive graphics that narrate tales from old myths, religions, and histories.
