Shining Waters

Antonio’s innovative portrayals of the urban landscape and the surface of water hover between the abstract and the figurative. Born in Naples in 1959, he has dedicated his whole life to painting, studying art by tracing the footsteps of Italian masters across Europe.

He uses his camera to catch the best light in his pictures, that moment when everything seems to be frozen and timeless. He adds and removes the paint constantly until he achieves the subtle shimmer that is unique to his work. He finishes each piece with a resin glaze gives an additional reflective elements adding to the overall impact.

“The beauty of the landscape is enhanced by the beauty of the light. It is the light that I paint, and the beauty of the landscape unfolds.”
