About Pino: (www.pinoart.com)

Born in Bari on 8 November 1939, Pino first trained at the Art Institute of Bari, and later at Milan's Academy of Brera. Between 1960 and 1979, his work was displayed in several major exhibitions throughout Italy and Europe between 1960 and 1979. Pino later immigrated to the United States and was soon discovered by the renowned Borghi Gallery who organized exhibitions for him throughout New York and Boston. Pino's paintings arrested the interest of Dell and Zebra Book Publishers who soon commissioned Pino to illustrate a book cover. He was soon pursued by other publishing houses and his style quickly led him to dominate the market. He has so far illustrated 3,000 books. Deciding to pursue a different tack and influenced by artists like Sargent, Pino took to painting and soon garnered rave reviews).
Pino lives between New Jersey and New York with his wife and son. He has now been painting for over 50 years.
