Marc Dalessio Portrait 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.

By Edward Cucuel

Located in Costa Mesa, CA

Artist Edward Cucuel and his wife Clara Lotte von Marcard spent their first two decades together in Germany, mostly in a villa on Lake Ammersee in Holzhausen near Munich. It is the works created in this period, mainly outdoor scenes of young women in fashionable attire of the day, that are most collected and appreciated among his works. It’s easy to see why- they capture an elegance and sense of calm and easy leisure- of long days in gardens or by the water.  This is one of those captured moments with a well-dressed woman watching the sailing yacht...
