Vivaldo Martini
Abstract Composition N°2 by Vivaldo Martini - Oil on canvas 60x38 cm

About the Item

His first name sounds like a concerto. Vivacious, its name is reminiscent of an aperitif or a cyclist. The addition of the two evokes the Italianate. Indomitable and unavoidable. Moreover, I was born on November 11, 1908 in Bellinzona, one day became a portrait painter of the president of the confederation, residing most of his life in Geneva, Vivaldo Martini refuses to leave his Italian nationality. He has known ruptures in his life. But Italy has always remained the son of his soul. It's unwavering root. What is striking about this artist, both extraordinary and famous, is a way of dichotomy that has permeated a large slice of his existence. On the one hand, very strong in the art of capturing faces, and that from an early age, he became a beloved, sought-after portrait painter. On the other hand, he has not stopped following a more personal artistic path, two years after his death in May 1990, finally comes to light, and testifies that beyond the chronicler of his time, Vivaldo Martini was above all a great painter.

"THE FIGHT" Figurative Painting 60" x 40" inch by Isaac Pelayo
By Isaac Pelayo
Located in Culver City, CA
"THE FIGHT" Figurative Painting 60" x 40" inch by Isaac Pelayo Medium: oil and aerosol on canvas ABOUT THE ARTIST: Isaac Pelayo is a head on crash collision between The Renaissance and Street Art. In a household where constant turmoil and violence were more apparent than most a young Pelayo met escape and peace within the confines of himself and his own creativity. Hispanic born in the heavy beating heart of Los Angeles on the seventh day of June 1996. Pelayo was caught in the crossfires of everything that surrounded him but art served as his only guidance. After dropping out of college Pelayo turned from his hyperrealistic pencil portraits to oil painting where his passions grew more immensely. As of today Pelayo’s work is most influenced and fueled by the crème de la crème of old master painters like Da Vinci, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, and Velazquez as well as graffiti artists such as RETNA, Shepard Fairey, and EL MAC. In 2017 his work caught the attention and landed in the firm grasp of renown rapper and collector Alvin “Westside Gunn” Worthy. He has created several album covers and artworks for the Buffalo rap moguls music label Griselda Records including his personal collection. Pelayo’s paintings are widely recognized and sought out from all over the globe. His collectors include Sean “Diddy” Combs, Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Jeff Hamilton, Shepard Fairey, Jaysse Lopez, and Everlast of House of Pain...
