About the Artist
American painter, born in Italy. He is
a self-made artist. His short enrollment in an Art Institute in Naples, Italy
was disrupted when he moved to the United States of America. Nevertheless he
continued his career as a realist artist until 1977, while working as an
Assistant Scenic designer for the Theater Shop in Middlesex County College, New
Jersey, he was inspired to paint pure abstract works. His early paintings
unknowingly reflected similarities to the famous artist Jackson Pollock.
His paintings now have evolved to higher level of identity with much more
energy and passion. The constant need to express and to create is in his soul
where the subconscious enables him, through his life experiences, to find
fulfillment and inner peace. His subject may be of surrealistic, metaphorical
or metaphysical elements.
His use of color moves his work through the linear, cylindrical patterns of his
mind's eye and brings each piece to a new perspective reflecting the constant
changes of his ongoing thought processes which comes from his past, present and
his emotions. Surrealistic human shapes evolve from this change. It is like
writing a novel, a poem about his life.
