The investigative nature of Agelio's work may stem from his background in the sciences. He received a BA in Biology, and then returned to his lifelong interest in art and earned a Master of Fine Arts degree. As a sculptor, we find an inventor extracting the extraordinary from the ordinary. Pencil lead, dictionaries, globes, maps, and old photographs – everyday artifacts such as these give us no expectation of inspiration. To find epiphany in mundane materials, poetry in the pedestrian is the core of his work and his commitment to making art from materials that are part of our daily experience continues. His work has been seen in museums and galleries across the Unites States.
