Rome
Milan, born in Fort Worth, Texas has drawn inspiration from his international
travels to the Adriatic coasts of Italy and Croatia, the Aegean Islands of Greece
and the Rivieras of France and Spain. The viewer is drawn into Milans colorful
canvases through richly-textured palette knife application of paint and dramatic
perspective which lend immediacy to scenes of gardens, villages and seasoned
fishing vessels.
Rome
has over
25 years of art experience working in several mediums.
Rome
has representation
in many fine art galleries across the
United States
.
Rome
applies
oil paints to canvas with a palette knife. This is a technique that has only
recently surfaced as his main medium. He began his early interest in art with
contour drawings with pencil as well as with pen and ink. Later
Rome
developed
his eye for color while owning a silk screen business. Creativity comes naturally
for
Rome
because
of his lifelong involvement with the Sport of gymnastics. In gymnastics, the
goal is to make difficult skills flow together with creative ease and leaving
the audience inspired with the beauty of the composition.
Rome
finds
that art is the same. After five years of collegiate gymnastics competition
and an education from the
University
of
Texas
at
Austin
he obtained
his Bachelor degree. It was then, that
Rome
turned his focus on world travels.
The
beauty of the
Mediterranean
Sea
and the quaint villages on the slopes of the land prove to be tranquil sites
for
Rome
. These
subjects make up many of his works. The relaxed atmospheres of his scenes are
calming and appeal to investors as well as first time art buyers.
