Damian is a realist oil painter from Philadelphia, PA and currently residing in Maui, HI. Former professional skateboarder.
Studied the academic tradition of painting with emphasis on figure, portrait, and still life at Studio Incamminati, a contemporary realist art school founded by artist Nelson Shanks.
“My recent paintings are on-site, representational landscapes. The familiarity I experience with my surroundings while painting has become my greatest reward as an artist. I dedicate my time studying brief lighting conditions and surrender to the time restrictions they present. My works begin with an initial intention that evolves with the middle stages and the purpose behind the painting is revealed through the time invested.”
