Allen Capriotti

born april 30, 1954i love figurative painting. i have learned so much about people by obseverving every detail that makes them different, then recreate every detail on the canvas. i learned my painting tecniques from doing paintings restoration for the last 20 years. the methods and meterials i discovered have helped me to perfectly recreate what i see on canvas.
