Vincent Giarrano

American artist Vincent Giarrano is a Contemporary Realist painter. His work is focused on creating impressions that are about real life experience. “I like my paintings to resonate as sincere moments of life.” Quality of light is another major aspect in Vincent’s paintings. He favors cool even light, how it enhances the mood of his subjects, especially in his paintings of city life. Giarrano's New York City Series deals with the dynamic between people and their environment, as well as the interplay of classic and contemporary elements in this setting.
