Tommaso Ottieri was born on February 8, 1971, in Naples. He studied architecture at the University of Naples and the Robert Gordon School of Architecture. After winning the Leonardo da Vinci scholarship in 1996, Ottieri moved to the Greek island of Santorini to work as an architect. During this time, he founded his first painting studio in the town of Oia. After returning to Naples in 1998, he obtained his master’s degree in executive planning and bio-architecture at the University of Federico II of Naples.
Shortly after receiving his degree, Ottieri devoted himself to painting full time. The study of architecture has undoubtedly shaped the style and subject matter of his paintings which is focused primarily on luminous urban landscapes at night and the interiors of opulent churches and theatres. He focuses on the color, light and movement found in the intense life of a city as it falls into the dark. His work is filled with a vivid, atmospheric and poetic quality. By using wax and oil as his medium, his paintings have a texture that fills them with the drama and motion seen in the places they depict. Since his first solo show in 2003, Ottieri has enjoyed international success as an artist exhibiting in the prestigious Venice Biennale and over 20 solo exhibitions and 40 group shows in museums and galleries all over the world. He currently lives and works between the Italian cities of Naples and Rome.

"Still Life with Architectural Columns and Pear" by Leon Olmo 31 x 52 inches
By Leon Olmo
Located in Atlanta, GA
Item is in excellent condition and has only been displayed in a gallery setting. With frame dimensions are approximately 44" x 64" Leon Olmo was born in Moron de la Frontera at the end of the 1940's beginning at a young age to study drawing and wax technique. From heightened stimulation incredible still-lifes are produced from the nearby aromas of lemons, jasmine, pomegranates, and medlars, fruits which often appear throughout his paintings. Olmo is a self-taught painter, reaching the status as one of Seville’s most talented artists through strict perseverance in drawing and painting. Working until complete exhaustion, Olmo attempts to capture all of himself with every image he creates. For Olmo, neatness and cleanliness go hand in hand when creating a work of art. Though he denies traditional academicism, Olmo does utilize a methodical approach in each painting that begins with strict preparation of the fibrapan board upon which he paints. Beginning with a primer composed of calcium sulfate and glue, he sands the board’s surface until smooth. This regimented routine is in accord with Olmo’s insistence of maintaining neatness and cleanliness for he has rejected the use of canvas where any imperfection is not up to standard. He then picks juicy fresh fruits from their trees and retrieves wooden boards from a collection that he has acquired over the years during walks with his father. Arranging the objects for the desired effect, the outcome will be a play of shadows between the background and brilliant center of the composition. With the brush he draws simple motifs and leaves layers of paint until he achieves a magic luminosity, where the observer can actually see through space, a transparent quality distinctly from the hand of Olmo. The recreation of natural elements in his paintings is to remind the observer of humanity’s material nature. The symbolic use of jasmine is special to the artist, in order to represent the grandeur of small things, six petals with an incredible scent which contain within them the magic of the artist and of his Andalusian land. Olmo’s dreamlike masterpieces contain human warmth that has an unsurpassable way of working their way into the hearts and minds of his collectors. Leon Olmo and his son Leon Reina make up a father and son painting...
