BIO

I was born on the 10th of March, 1972 in Vina Del Mar, Chile. I am an international artist who is showing at "The Mamushka Museum of Fine Art" and also a member of gallery "The One Ear Society" in Coconut Grove, Florida. I studied the Arts from an early age and in 1998 was accepted at the Center for the Media Arts, graduated at Miami Beach high, continued to ITT and The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, finishing at The New Worlds School of the Arts (NWSA) for InterMedia in 2000. I always seemed to pick landscapes and natural environment as my subject and media matter when I drew or painted, as well as celebrities and famous places around the world.

I would say that my work could border from light surrealism to diffused adjusted abstract. My style of work would have to be abstract in the form of adjusted diffusion, colour fusion and tonal balance, connected by line and colour reflection balance. This is why I use the colours that I use and the mixing techniques as well. My form has come up from all the years of mixed learning methods and ideas, which is a culmination of different ideas and theories all combined into one or two different concepts, which I have eventually put into my own transformation of idealistic views, ways and concepts. Through this you can understand now that I have pretty much made up my type of theoretical method of painting and technique.

I am an international artist who is showing at “the mamushka museum of fine art” and also a member of gallery “the one ear society” in Florida and other. Giuliano Cavallo studied the arts from an early age and 1n 1998 was accepted at the center for the media arts graduated at Miami beach high, finishing at the new worlds school of the arts (nwsa) for international media in 2000.i always seemed to pick landscapes and natural environment as my subject and media matter when I draw or paint as well as celebrities and famous places around the world.

Q - Your work is amazing, how did you get started in this field?
A - I have been drawing and painting since I can remember the age of 2 and through out my schooling I was more of an impressionist, at the end of the year 1999 doing research in the arts I realized that the internet had a great amount of impressionist through out history in relation to other styles like Picasso or van gohg. I realized that almost all artist want to become Leonardo da Vinci and that it was time for something new so I decided to paint the structure of a brush stroke. I would say that my work could border from light surrealism to diffused adjusted abstract some people call it Rock & Roll believe it or not.

Q - Do you have any formal training?
A - I would say that my style of work would have to be abstract in the form of adjusted diffusion, color fusion and tonal balance, connected by line and color reflection balance. This is why I use the colors that I use and the mixing techniques as well. The themes are of course the beginning or end of a process. Then follows the procedure of my blending and figuring the certain colors with the certain themes together. I like to use most colors like most primaries as well as dark tones. I like to mix them where they are least expected. As you can see though I have focused more on the unpredictability of these particular works. Where I have started with color fusion adding highlights and contrasts. My form has come up from all the years of mixed learning methods and ideas. Which has been a culmination of different ideas and theories all combined into one or two different concepts, which I have eventually put into my own transformation of idealistic views, ways and concepts. So as you can understand now I have pretty much made up my type of theoretical method of painting and technique.

Q - It's known that artists are rather sentimental people. When is it exactly that you feel that you perform best? Under which mood have you created your best
designs?
A - Every painting has its own felling to it, inspiration comes from with in the sound witch I translate to colors, sometimes I'm very touch by the humanity of the artist that gives me that energy, the arts is my life I must paint regardless of the weather or personal problems, the show must go on and I enjoy helping the community I don’t want to sound arrogant but I like what I do and I hope that I can bring at least a little bit of the much happiness I receive when I do my work as to others when they view my paintings and work.

Q - Have you ever been inspired by another artist's work? What inspires you the most?
A - I get turned on by music, specially female signers, I like to feel the rhythm and the words on their songs to be able to bring that emotion to a stop, frizzing it on time, I believed that there is a great connection in the way my paintings are executed, and how the sound is actually frequency witch I see as color, I used letters and numbers to adjust the contrast of the painting or story by reading the water marks. I like artists like Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Jacqueline Velasquez and Britney.

Q - What was your craziest experience ever?
A - I was driving limousines and VIP’s on south beach for several years. I saw a lot of crazy things in the back of that limo and drove celebrities like Madonna, Stallone, Julio Iglesias, Hollyfield, Juvenile, the Sunshine Band, Martha Salazar, Motombo and lots of people that like to drink and party back there, I was invited to participate on that craziness and I had the best time of my life.

Q - Favorite quote?
A - "Life is a subsection of small things link together" Vincent van Gohg

Q - Where is the relationship between the artist and his art?
A - There is involvement and professional satisfaction while you work on a piece. You take pride on doing a job to the best of your abilities. But once you're finished, you have to walk away and forget about it. An artist needs a certain level of detachment from his work in order to remain objective. You can't fall in love with your work and only the people can say if this is a great piece or not.
