About the artist Davide Rodoquino
Diploma in painting obtained from the Academy of Fine Arts in Ravenna, Italy in 1987. Subsequent experience of outdoor painting in various locations in Italy, notably on Lake Como where the artist remained for long periods.
Here the artist improved his experience in the study of the living subject and the study of the colors and lights offered by the landscape.
In 1992 he emigrated to the United States where he began exhibiting oil paintings on canvas in galleries in the Washington DC metropolitan area.
At the same time, he began his experience in trompe-l'oeil mural painting for public and private places, undertaking activities as an independent using the acrylic technique.
In 2002 he moved to New York where he stayed for 10 years. In the Big Apple he continued to work professionally as a successful painter of trompe l'oeil and easel paintings.
This experience allowed him to improve his skills as a landscaper, and also gave him the opportunity to gain visibility and recognition within the cultural and artistic industry, since the places he decorated are visited by Hollywood actors, directors and international rock stars.
Back in Italy, he continued to paint on canvas, experimenting with various techniques including oil, acrylic, inks, soft pastels and watercolor. The most recent paintings show a little-known but highly appreciated ink on canvas technique with a good impact. In January 2024, an article on the artist's biography was published in the New York magazine "Zone NY Magazine" which deals with artistic and cultural events
of this city.
