Tony de Carlo: Personal Icons

Tony de Carlo is a native of Los Angeles now living in Savannah, Georgia. The son of an artist mother, he has been creating ever since childhood. A self-taught artist, he paints on a daily basis using silver, copper and gold-leaf, acrylics and oils; on everything from canvas, metal and tin, to cut-out wood figures and furniture. His work is exhibited regularly throughout the United States and shown extensively in many diverse venues in his home state of California. His works have been exhibited in dozens of museums and galleries, and are in collections throughout the world - many are sold even before the paint is dry! 

These beautiful portraits and other images blend elements of sexuality, religion and spirituality, and nature, with Southern Californian, Southwestern US, Mexican ,and Mexican-American ethnic and artistic sensibilities, and visual reference to the icon in art. Tony regularly inserts things from his own life in his paintings - his dogs, furniture, house, gardens, landscapes, friends, neighborhood, his city, and even his vacations. Tony's extraordinary talent combines these influences and elements, and a brilliant use of colors, to produce his unique vision.
