CARLO D'ALESSIO
Born in the Bronx in 1954, Carlo D’Alessio’s artistic journey began at an early age when he was accepted into the High School of Music and Art in New York City (the movie “Fame” school). He graduated from Fordham University in conjunction with New York's School of Visual Arts and attended the renowned Art Students League. D'Alessio paints with a distinctive method that produces a stunning visual impact. By layering acrylic paint with varnish, layer built upon layer, he creates a luminous three-dimensional effect that mimics changes in light. Over the course of his long career as a visual artist, D'Alessio has perfected his understanding of perspective and shadow, further enhancing the illusion in his paintings. With a characteristic style and a broad range of subjects, D'Alessio's meticulous paintings are hyperrealistic and sometimes mistaken for some form of photographic process; however, they possess a vitality that cannot be achieved by mechanical means. D'Alessio's passion is simply to bring beauty and a sense of wonder to those who view his work. D’Alessio’s success is illustrated by his long list of collectors and commission clients from around the world. www.carlodalessio.com
