Egidio Antonaccio (1954-) View Egidio Antonaccio's Art Prints Egidio Antonaccio is an impressionist whose paintings express his love of nature. Most of his paintings are of gardens and paths; some are simple, some are elaborate, but we always multi-colored flowers of spring, summer or fall in his work. The trails used in his landscapes are a trademark... they wind and turn and disappear leaving us wondering where they go. The trees and objects in the distance seem to be in a misty atmosphere and the sun plays a great part in his paintings, casting shadows on the paths and flowers depicting different times of the day. Egidio Antonaccio is a man gifted with a rare talent. Having studied with some of the great Italian masters of fine art, he has developed a brilliant and commanding style. Born in Castelluccio, Italy in 1954, he graduated from the Institute of Fine Art in 1973 in Castrovillari, Italy. Then in 1978, he graduated with honors from the academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy. After immigrating to the United States, his talent was discovered by the acclaimed landscapist, Edward Szmyd. His technique is light and delicate and his themes are romantic and gentle; each painting evokes feelings of strength, grace and wonderment. From floral gardens, richly foliaged and filled with summer scents, to vast panoramic views of hillsides and valleys, Antonaccio is multi-talented with ingenious imagination. Some of his pieces suggest a story or theme and some stand alone with their flawless beauty. He has always been and continues to be open to new influences in his painting. The realistic detail of surrealist instructors, the manipulations of light from the impressionist school, the landscapes of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, and the view that he sees outside his window in his garden all influence his work. But whatever his intention or message to the viewer, each artwork comes from the heart of Antonaccio, his legacy to this generation and those yet to follow. View Egidio Antonaccio's Art Prints
