  • Artist Statement

    I was in advertising in NYC for more than 25 years. Some others and I

    prided ourselves in creativity. In fact, my last television campaign won the

    Clio Cannes Film Festival Award. But the business side took over completely,

    and I knew it was over for me. Money just wasn’t enough.

    In many discussions with my wife she kept saying “I think you should be a

    painter” and I repeatedly said, “are you crazy!”. We were enjoying a

    certain lifestyle that wasn’t bad….but painting?

    I thought I was superman until I tried it. There were paintings that

    refused to be painted… so I planted a tree instead. As frustration mounted,

    more trees were planted until people passed my house by. They couldn’t

    find it.

    Painting comes from my heart and recently at our State Capitol, I received The

    NM Governor’s Award for Artistic Excellence and Lifetime Achievement.

    Take it from me, this doesn’t happen every day.

    I don’t plant trees anymore…so take a look. I hope you won’t be

    disappointed.

    VINCENT N. FIGLIOLA, award-winning Creative Director over 25years, moved from Manhattan to New Mexico on his 50th birthday, toexpress his purely creative leanings in a new landscape. In his own
    words:"to discover if he could become a serious painter,to paint the human
    epic in classical terms.”
    Preferred mediums include oil,egg tempera, mixed media, original graphite
    drawings, and limited edition stone lithography. Art critics refer to Vincent
    as “the artist who paints the Renaissance,and makes it now.” Currently, Vincent
    is referred to as a Living Master in Contemporary Realism and Modern
    Impressionism.


    In the 1980’s prior to an interview with the BBC,LeoCastelli, the international art critic and founder of movements in modern art,
    predicted that Vincent would be one of the important realistic painters of
    this century. Apparently, he has.

    & Architecture, Vincent was selected to paint his interpretation of
    Ruben’s“The Crucifixion”, viewed behind purple ropes within The Museum of Fine
    Art in Philadelphia, while being blessed by priests and nuns. Vincent completed
    his interpretation in more detail than Ruben’s , to include the Hebrew
    inscription upon the cross.
    It was purchased by Dr.& Mrs David Taber, fine art collectors. See “works
    in private collection” www.vincentfigliola.com.
