About the Artist

  • Robert Padovano

    Robert Padovano

    "Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, self-taught artist Robert Padovano is best known for his vibrant Impressionistic cityscapes of New York and its’ surrounding environment. His vibrant use of color and expressive brush strokes make his paintings come alive with atmosphere and light. His painting method incorporates both Impressionist and Pointillist techniques, often juxtaposing dabs of pure thick color side by side. When viewed at a distance, the eye mixes these colors to give a luminescent quality to light and shadows. Says Rob, “The look of the city inspires me to paint. Growing up in Brooklyn has had a great influence on me, especially as an artist. The city's infrastucture allows for limitless complexity in color, light, and composition and are compelling subjects for an Impressionist like myself. When I paint, my goal is to capture the atmosphere around these subjects, not just the subject itself. In doing so, I hope to crystallize that moment with all its nuances of color and mood.” Recently, Robert has involved himself with other ambitious projects like Mural design and, of course, the Sing for Hope Pop Up Pianos. What I love so much about these projects is that I can combine my painting and design skills together and use them both in the creative process. Robert’s paintings are part of many private and international collections. He has exhibited at The Staten Island Museum, The John A. Noble Maritime Museum, The Newhouse Gallery of Contemporary Art, The E. Mayan Studio in New York City, Union Gallery in Lambertville, New Jersey, Gallery 364 in Brooklyn, and many others. His work has been included in juried shows at The Salmagundi Club in New York and the American Artists Professional League, and also featured on cable television artists spotlights. Robert attended Brooklyn College and studied design at The School of Visual Arts in New York City. He is also an award-winning graphic artist, and has received numerous national and international design awards from Print Magazine, Graphis, Creativity Annual, and American Corporate Identity, among many others. An extensive collection of his work can be see on his website padovanofineart.com. "
