November No. 8 Collage

Note: This Saatchi Art focuses on Alessandro's abstract styles of art. The Saatchi Art profile "ajperriello" focuses on Alessandro's representational styles of art. Both styles are current and run in parallel. Separating the two general styles in easier to organize and for the audience to view. I began drawing, early in life. My father was a commercial artist. The "art gene" is in my bloodline. I have learned and improved over the years through practice and self-learning. I try to balance the analytic and creative. My education is diverse, with a B.A. in English and Studio Arts, and a B.S. in Computer Science.  I have lived in England, Iowa, Florida, and Long Island. While in my twenties, I worked a handful of trades at miscellaneous jobs. Since my early thirties, I have been a software engineer, including over twenty years of employment between Eastman Kodak in Rochester, then HBO in NYC/Long Island.  Writing code and working on my art keep me focused and busy. Currently, I live and work in my house/studio, a Charles Eastlake Gothic Revival, in Rochester, NY.  I ponder the study of consciousness and quantum physics. My hobbies include: reading, writing, guitar, movies, running, resistance training, NFL Football (Buffalo Bills fan).
