| Walter Girotto original painting "Elsewhere Inside"
This is an incredibly beautiful piece by Italian painter Walter Girotto. It is NOT a lithograph or serigraph as you usually see on Ebay but an ORIGINAL PAINTING. The painting features a beautiful ballerina resting after a performance. A rose resting on her shoulder & her ballet shoes at her side. The details are incredible. Girotto's work hearkens to the old masters style, with a modern flair & needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. His smaller paintings start around $8000 and go up to $15000+
WALTER GIROTTO has called Rovigo,
Italy, home for 45 years.
After receiving a Teacher of Arts
diploma from the Liceo Artistico in Turin in 1972, he started to
paint portraits and design cartoons.
Three years later Girotto
enrolled at the Belle Arti Academy and shortly thereafter, his work
was exhibited on a regular basis at the Centro di arte Renoir of
Taranto. Between 1985 and 1987 he attended the annual Art Expo in New
York. His paintings and drawings were greeted with such enthusiasm
that they sold within the first hour of each show.
His first solo
exhibition was presented in Los Angeles in 1988.
His paintings have an
extraordinary ability to capture the nuances of the human experience.
Sometimes turbulent, and often times using erotic associations to
capture the attention of the viewer. He carefully modulates the
lighting using gentle shadows and striking details, always conscious
of the audience "the viewer". Using the purity of antique
motifs, architectural elements, and varied compositions of the human
anatomy, profound and poetic messages are the hallmark of his style
and artistic skill.
Walter Girotto exemplifies the
graphic strength of his subjects utilizing both the masculine and the
feminine, resulting in a deep exploration of human thought and man's
place in the universe, compelling you the viewer to attempt to
distinguish the obvious with the uncertain.
