Robert Padovano
Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Robert Padovano currently resides in Staten Island with his wife and two children.
An award-winning graphic artist, he has received numerous national and international design awards and has had work published in Print Magazine, Graphis, Creativity Annual, and American Corporate Identity among many others.
He is currently Senior Art Director at Health Scienc Communications in New York City. He is an accomplished guitarist and musician and has played with several bands in the tristate area over the years. He attended Brooklyn College and studied design at The School of Visual Arts.
I have always loved Impressionism.
Even as a child, I could recall stumbling onto a painting by Monet or Sisely in a book and noticing something about it that was very different than anything I’d seen before. The colors and images were very bold and beautiful, but somehow the fascination went beyond that. It would remind me of a moment or a time that I could recall feeling myself. This was magical to me. It would become a defining moment in my life, affecting the way I looked at art from then on. I knew I wanted to do this myself.
When I paint, my goal is to capture the atmosphere around a subject, not just the subject itself. Whether it is the color of the morning air, the look of the city after a heavy rain, or how the late afternoon sun can completely change the mood of a day, it is this that is most meaningful to me. I find it thrilling to be able to recreate that feeling in my own paintings. If I can make the viewer feel the same thing, then I feel I’ve accomplished what I set out to do. This is what I want others to see in my work.
