Pino was born in Italy and trained at the Art
Institute of Bari and later at Milan's Academy at
Brera. Pino perfected his skills painting nudes and
figure studies heavily influenced by the pre-
Raphaelites.
After establishing himself as a successful artist in
his native land, Pino moved to The United
States, where he felt he would have more artistic
freedom and opportunity. His early work features
soft romantic characters, mostly women, dressed
in flowing skirts. Pino's canvases elicit feelings of
warmth, nostalgia, love, and family. His paintings
are often set on vibrantly sunny beaches,
typically in the Mediterranean where he grew
up. Pino's technique, his warm and exciting
colors, and the subtle, but simple approach to
his subject are his trademark.
