About the Item

Here is a recent work by the well known American realist marine painter, Rinaldo Skalamera. Signed lower right. Framed in contemporary gold leaf gallery frame with white linen liner. Overall framed size 32 by 38 inches. About the Artist Rinaldo was born in Croatia. As a young artist he began to draw and paint the picturesque surroundings of his homeland. He moved to the United States with his family and continued to draw inspiration from the old towns and fishing boats he remembers from Croatia. In 1975, he entered a contest which earned him a full scholarship with the Art Instruction School of Minneapolis. It was indeed an honor as Skalamera was selected as a winner from thousands of applicants throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. After successfully completing his academic requirements, Skalamera began his professional career as a freelance illustrator. He has drawn and painted everything from electronics to dogs and corporate executives. But it is his native homeland of Croatia which infuses him with a creative spirit few can equal. A master of realism, Skalamera’s paintings also communicate emotion. With symphonic precision he translates familiar subjects onto canvas with a unique perspective, orchestrated by the delicacy of his brush- strokes and the subtle hues of his palette. Skalamera has refined his skills as an artist by attending the Fashion Institute of Technology where he studied fashion illustration and fine arts, and later, at the Art Students League in New York. He is a permanent member of the American Society of Marine Artists. He has earned numerous awards and his works have published in Playbill, Quest, Chicago Social, Arts & Antiques, Worth Ave., Dan’s Papers, East Hampton Star, Town & Country, and many others. His paintings have been purchased by many private and corporate collectors in the United States, Croatia, and Italy. Today, Rinaldo Skalamera is widely regarded to be among the world’s leading marine artists. His large scale studio paintings create “First Hand” experience for the viewer, putting them right on board of his meticulous painted boats. A sense of the dramatic moment combined with thorough research and attention to precise detail has found considerable appeal and sell quickly into private and corporate collection. Rinaldo has been the subject of a one- man show and numerous group shows at the prestigious Wally Findlay Galleries in East Hampton- NY, Worth Avenue- Palm Beach, Chicago, Beverly Hills- California, and Barcelona- Spain as well as Chrysalis Gallery in Southampton- NY. He appeared in East Hampton Star, Cover of Dan’s Paper, Chicago Social, Yachtman, Palm Beacher, Worth Avenue, Times, Quest, Playbill and many other publications. Rinaldo resides and works in Fort Lee, N.J.
