Marc Dalessio Figurative Paintings
American, b. 1972
Marc Dalessio was born in 1972 in Los Angeles, California. Even in his earliest years, it was evident that his passion was art. In 1989, he started at the University of California at Santa Cruz where he focused on both art and biology. During his time in Santa Cruz, Dalessio experimented with different schools of painting and spent much of his spare time studying the history and culture of the profession. He finished his outstanding academic career, graduating from the Phi Beta Kappa Society in 1992. After university, Dalessio moved to Florence, Italy, where he spent the next eight years developing his style and refining his technique. Initially, Marc studied under Svetlan Kracsyna at Il Bisonte International School of Graphic Arts, Florence, Italy, where he earned a master printmaker degree. From there, he went on to train as a portraitist at a small traditional painting atelier. Dalessio has emerged as a true master of his craft. Whether his work depicts an Indian landscape or an Italian businessman, the lines and color in his paintings attempt to reveal the nature of his subjects. In his portraits, he works to find the essence of the model, trying to use the true character of the individual to decide the mood of the painting. His plein air landscapes, which range in subject from exotic locations around the world to his backyard, attempt to capture both the present and the history of the environment, touching the soul with his unique view of the scenery. In all his works, his dedication to light and color, and the subtlety of his subjects, enraptured even the most casual observer.
