“Rain Forest” ‘H e is a painter’s painter,” said Sidney Godwin,
BrookdaleArt Department professor, referring to the aesthetic nuances of Santo Pezzutti’s works.
“His paintings are fascinating, full of delicate color passages,” said professor Edward Stein, Art Department chairman.
Through Pezzutti’s own words, we get a glimpse into how he is able to create with an original sensibility.
“Once the painting is started, I work with stream of consciousness, never striving for photographic realism, but instead, flowing with the dictates of design, color, texture and always respecting the nature of the medium.”
Pezzutti was born in the foothills of the Alps and came to America as a young boy. After graduating from high school, he received a full art scholarship and studied at theArt Students League in New York.
