In 1993, he located to Alexandra township in South Africa where he grew to love art and pushed himself to pursue a career as a professional artist.

During that period, Dario participated in various community projects such as, “Work To Win,” an environmental awareness project which included several art murals created to uplift his surrounding township community and to create awareness around the dangers of pollution and global warming. Dario enrolled at ARTISTSPROOF STUDIO in 1998 to further his artistic skills by studying the techniques of printmaking such as dry point; linocut; silkscreen and monotype to name a few.
