Artist Statement:
I consider myself an observer,
a visitor here on this
magnificent planet. As my
paintings are primarily
representational, I study my
subject matter with an almost
scientific eye, trying to
understand what I am actually
seeing, how color and light
dance and play. Yet my
ultimate goal is to create...

| Your Personal Biography |
Historically, a generation is fortunate to produce at best a handful of artists whose work does not merely stand upon the shoulders of its most brilliant predecessors, but offers a truth, the very reason they came before. Carlo D’Alessio is such an artist.
Born in the Bronx in 1954, D’Alessio’s artistic journey began at an early age when he was accepted into the School of Music and Art in New York City (the movie “Fame” school). He went on to earn a BS in psychology from Fordham University (1971), studied at New York's School of Visual Arts (1976), and attended the world-renowned Art Students' League (1977).
His last two years in New York were devoted to a collaboration with the late artist Stanley Landsman who recalled his experience with D'Alessio: 'I've never seen such an abundance of talent infused into someone as young as Carlo; his command of technique is extraordinary.”
D'Alessio paints with a painstaking and 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 natural light. Over the course of his 30-year-long career as a visual artist, D'Alessio has perfected his understanding of perspective and shadow, further enhancing the illusionism in his paintings.
With a characteristic style and a broad range of subjects, D’Alessio’s meticulous paintings are hyperrealistic and often mistaken for some form of photographic process; however, they possess a vitality that cannot be achieved by mechanical means. His frequent use of juxtaposition and contrast is surrealistic.
D’Alessio’s success is illustrated by his long list of collectors and commission clients from around the world. In addition to exhibitions and gallery shows, his artwork and interviews have appeared in many publications such as Andy Warhol’s Interview, Harper’s Bazaar, Colorado Homes & Lifestyles, Art Experience West and Tahoe Quarterly. D’Alessio’s passion is simply to bring beauty and a sense of wonder to those who view his work.
