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...

CARLO D'ALESSIO
COMMISSIONED ARTIST - MODERN
RENAISSANCE
During the Renaissance, great
artists were inspired and
thrived upon their commissions
from cultural leaders who felt
strongly about a vision but
lacked the ability to create
them artistically beyond their
imaginations. Today, Carlo

trained artist from New

ART EXPERIENCE WEST:
THE LUMINOUS WORLD OF CARLO D'ALESSIO
Forming the focal points for executive offices, premier designer homes, and fine restaurants from Aspen to Singapore, the glowing luminosity of Carlo D'Alessio's paintings is the hallmark of his signature style. D'Alessio paints with a painstaking and distinctive technique that produces a visual effect which has been compared to the work of Maxfield Parrish (1870-1966). By layering acrylic paint with varnish, layer built upon layer, D'Alessio creates a brilliant, illusionistic, three-dimensional effect that mimics changes in natural light. Over the course of his 27-year-long career as a visual artist, D'Alessio has perfected his understanding of perspective, further enhancing the illusionism in his paintings.
D'Alessio's good-humored, affable, and determined nature have served him well throughout his career. His artistic journey began at the age of 12 when he was accepted into the School of Music and Art in New York City; this is the school after which the book and movie "Fame" were modeled. From there, he went on to earn a BS in psychology from Fordham University in 1975; studied at New York's School of Visual Arts in 1976; and attended the world-renowned Art Students' League in 1977. D'Alessio's professional art career began in Manhattan with a stint as art production manager for Bloomingdales. His last two years in New York he 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."
These days, D'Alessio makes his home near Lake Tahoe. In the earlier years of his painting career, he was inspired by Manhattan to paint architectural and surreal subjects; D'Alessio is inspired now, rather, by the natural beauty of his current surroundings in Tahoe and paints grand skies of multi-colored clouds and enormous landscapes of bold granite and pristine water. The majority of D'Alessio's paintings have been commissioned for private collections.
