About the Item

One of a kind photorealistic sports painting of fictitious pro football players on canvas. Extraordinary work! Michele Amatrula stands out among contemporary photorealist painters with her unique voice and vision. With decades of experience as a leading professional illustrator, she masterfully captures small glimpses of unexpected beauty in everyday life. Her work is distinguished by its surprising subject matter and exquisite portrayal of light and shadow. Amatrula embraces wear and tear, melancholy moments, and faded glory. In her skilled hands, vintage bottle caps take on the evocative luster of the Dutch Masters; tattooed limbs reveal more truth than a conventional portrait; and antique household objects evoke nostalgia for a simpler time, while also recalling the complex lives of their owners. Informed by the past, Amatrula’s precise paintings celebrate the perfect imprecision of the present and remind us of the possibility of a joyful future. Michele Amatrula holds a BFA from the Parsons School of Design and has received numerous awards from organizations including the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club, the Portrait Society of America, and the Bosque Conservatory of Art. She resides in New York City’s Washington Heights neighborhood with her family.
