"Donkey Kong" Painting

Anthony Astarita’s paintings speak through energy, joy, and expressive mark-making. His work explores the tension between grit and sweetness — balancing layers of graffiti-like strokes, bold colors, and textured surfaces that echo lived experience and a relentless commitment to creativity. Whether creating on canvas or wood panel, Astarita builds each piece with stamina, humor, and a deep belief in the power of art to uplift and connect. He works in themed series, with select pieces contributing a portion of proceeds to support children living in homeless shelters. Collectors are drawn to the honesty of his work — immediate, alive, and full of motion — and to the way his paintings make a space feel more human.
