Pino
Daeni, born Giuseppe Dangelico, in Italy in 1939 .He trained at the
Art Institute of Bari, and later at Milan 's Academy of Brera, Pino
perfected his skills painting nudes and figure studies heavily influenced
by the pre-Raphaelites and Macchiaaoli. After
establishing himself as a successful artist in his native land, Pino
decided to immigrate to the United States.
Pino's
canvases elicit feelings of warmth, nostalgia, love and family. His
paintings are often set on vibrantly sunny beaches, typically in
the Mediterranean where he grew up. His alter ego, A young boy
surrounded by beautiful women, (his sisters, aunts and cousins),
are found in various states of emotion ranging from adoration
to isolation. Many of Pino's characters are also found frequently
inhabiting sensuous boudoirs or dressing rooms, in anticipation
of their husband or lovers. Pino's
technique, his warm and exciting colors, and the subtle, but simple
approach to his subject, are his trademark, his talent, and the reason
why his paintings and limited editions are in growing demand throughout
the world.
