Artist Comments
Artist Joe Giuffrida captures the cliffside of a southwest mesa with the warm tones of the desert landscape. The cooler greens of the Pinyon Pines at the base balance the color palette. "The intent of this painting was to capture something of the immense descending bluff in relation to the surrounding terrain," says Joe. With its suggested striations, the precipice dominates the painting, while the rounded tops of the woods below give the piece a soft counterweight. "I added a hint or suggestion of trees at the top to create distance and depth."
About the Artist
Artist Joe Giuffrida paints impressionist landscapes frequently balanced with architectural arrangements. His artistic vision diverges from traditional styles depending on the subject at hand. "My creative energy is best developed through being on-site, observing a location, and getting the feel of the environment," says Joe. An expression of what is felt but not necessarily seen flourishes in his work, pushing the limits of color and value beyond what is there. Joe sought mentorship through workshops and college classes, then supplemented his learning by reading books on art techniques. He developed a firm belief in his craft being good through the perception of feeling rather than visuals. Emotional connections hold a crucial part of his creative process, challenging himself to be able to convey his responses while leaving room for the viewer's interpretation. He works in two studios, one for subtle watercolor painting and the other for bold and heavy acrylics and oils - systemized by organized clutter. His work has been featured in American and European publications and displayed in England, Germany, France, and the United States. Outside of painting, he channels his prowess as a musician, spending considerable time learning new guitar music...
