Artist Bio:
A “painter’s painter,” artist Donato Giancola has been creating award-winning drawings and oil paintings in the classical realism and science-fiction and fantasy fields for twenty years. His resume lists an impressive number of honors: multiple Gold and Silver awards from Spectrum: The Best in Science Fiction & Fantasy Art, multiple Hugos, multiple Chesleys, and multiple honors from the Society of Illustrators. Donato teaches at the School of Visual Arts and the Illustration Master Class. His paintings can be seen at the Richard J. Demato Fine Arts Gallery in Sag Harbor, New York.
“It’s difficult to talk about the art of Donato Giancola and remain objective. Despite the best intentions to be analytical and coldly disaffected when standing in front of his art…it is simply not possible. There is so much passion, so much depth, and so much truth in Donato’s paintings that the viewer can’t help but get caught up in the stories his works tell. Simply put, among contemporary narrative artists, Donato Giancola is a master. Watching him paint “Joan of Arc” merely drives home that fact.”
