Toronto-born painter Joseph Romantini is a leading contemporary artist. Joseph has developed a recognizable style employing a technique of thinly applied layers of oil paint, acrylic dots and scoring for texture, producing an exciting blend of realistic and abstract elements in each of his works.

“The expression in my paintings are limited to body language and movement because you can’t see the subjects face. So hair and the body become the driving force. Mainly what I'm trying to do is create a painting that feels alive”
