Who is
Robert Pitonzo?
As a celestial impressionist, my desire is to create
paintings that explore the cosmic mysteries of this life,
from the vast expanses of the galaxy to the tiny life spark
deep within a leaf. By incorporating universal spiritual
symbols, cosmic images and prysmatic color, I draw the
observer within to experience a myriad of multi-layered
spectrums of reality. My paintings become dimensional
worlds within themselves, transforming the "every day" into
higher realms.
Each painting begins with a sketch drawn from live models,
photographs and visions. My style, in which I utilize fine
sable brushes, manipulates various textures and blends of
color in my quest to interpret such visual splendor as a
magnificent velvet sunset or the emerald sheen of a living
blade of grass.
While growing up in New York, I became fascinated with art
at an early age. In my teen years I studied at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan, and in later years
in my continual pursuit of advancement, I also attended the
San Francisco Academy of Art. My work has been exhibited at
many fine art galleries and fairs from New York to
California.
Commissionings for personal renderings as well as for large
murals are welcomed.
