Vincent Giarrano, 1960 | Life in the city

American painter Vincent Giarrano, also known as Vince Giarrano, was born in Buffalo, New York.

Giarrano started drawing at an early age, teaching himself by studying other artists.

Following his degree in Fine Art from State University, New York, 1982 and his Masters in Fine Art from Syracuse University, 1985, he chose to pursue a career in illustration working, amongst others, for the large publishers DC Comics and Marvel Comics.

About ten years ago, Vincent transitioned back to fine art and found that this was what he really wanted to do.

Besides John Singer Sargent, other painters like Joaquín Sorolla, Anders Zorn and Edward Hopper impress him deeply.

The enormous courage and sincere commitment of the Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh move him to the core.

He loves painting subjects that relate to real life experiences, wanting his paintings to reflect true moments of life.

Capturing the quality of light in a scene is also an important element for him, especially the way in which it can enhance the mood he is portraying in the painting.

He tends to work in series, choosing a subject that interests him and exploring it thoroughly to develop its full potential, something that his collectors react to very favorably.

Vincent has several prestigious awards to his credit, he has had many solo and group shows in the USA and has attracted many serious collectors.

Circa dieci anni fa, Vincent è tornato alla pittura ed ha scoperto che questo era quello che voleva veramente fare. Ama dipingere soggetti che si riferiscono a esperienze di vita reale. Catturare la qualità della luce in una scena è anche un elemento importante per lui.

Oltre a John Singer Sargent, altri pittori come Joaquín Sorolla, Anders Zorn ed Edward Hopper lo impressionano profondamente.

L'enorme coraggio e l'impegno sincero del pittore post-impressionista olandese Vincent van Gogh lo commuove nel profondo.

"Quello che amo sono i soggetti di pittura che si riferiscono ad esperienze di vita reale... Voglio che i miei quadri risuonino come momenti sinceri e veri della vita".

Vincent ha diversi prestigiosi premi al suo attivo, ha avuto molte mostre personali e collettive in gli Stati Uniti e ha attirato molti collezionisti seri.
