Giuliano Cavallo is not one to be pigeon-holed. His use of medium, color, style, and genre are so varied and wide I would find it remiss to make such an attempt. Charcoal drawings stand in stark contrast to wildly colorful abstracts. Realistic portraiture with life catching detail compliment directive studies into Escher for just one example. Swirling colors create "Colliding Worlds" and gentle pencil shading create bold statements on mood, and the world around.
Indeed the imagination of Cavallo seems unlimited and opens new vistas for the beholder. Subject matter is equally vast as Giuliano captures all he sees in his world. No image is too simple or complex. A browser's delight, the Cavallo Gallery is not a rushed experience. The size and content make for the art lover an extended visit and indeed a place of frequent return. Surprises abound in relationship to Cavallo's choice of subject and medium. He uses all tools in his grasp to capture his subject, and place before his admirers a contemplative work of beauty and thought.
RE: "Beautiful Soul" Giuliano Cavallo's Princess Dianna inspired "Beautiful Soul" is yet another example of the artist's amazing ability to capture essence with color, line, and placement. The dark background brings the central image to the forefront of the piece, in an illuminating manner. Much like the darker sides which swirled around the Princess highlighter her to the world. Strong lines define sharp character and at the same time suggest an elegance and vulnerability. Cavallo's use of color particularly for me brings "Beautiful Soul" into complete harmony. Adding depth, details, and emotional strength to the piece. Bravo, a brilliant testament to a brilliant person! Len Rogers Founder StoneWall Society
Biography: BIO
Born in Vina del Mar Chile in 1972, Giuliano Cavallo grew up traveling through much of Chile and Argentina. Much of his formative years were spent living and traveling with "The Children of God", also known as "The Family" and Cavallo sang, acted and performed with other children until his late teens. In the midst of his traveling years, the Artist was moved from place to place and found himself often camping in the vast landscapes of Chile & Argentina, surrounded by beautiful lakes, mountains, diverse people and wildlife. These transitional periods of his young life greatly influenced the person and work we see today, and taught him to see and appreciate natural beauty at a very young age.
Preferring to work in oils but skilled in all mediums, Cavallo's work ranges from paintings of the lakes of Argentina to the mountains of Chile to the Art Deco buildings of Miami Beach. He has created a vast collection of works, from famous people and places to the not so famous - but nevertheless interesting and beautiful. After arriving in Miami Beach in 1986, the artist attended Miami Beach High School and several different Colleges and Art Schools, focusing always on intensive Art Studies.
The Artist feels that his work has much improved over the years, as have the various evolving styles, themes, shapes, sizes and extent of work offered. Cavallo invites the viewer to come, explore and hopefully delight in the various artifacts he offers from his extensive body of work.
