Biography
“I have been painting with oil paints for over 30 years. After studying art through my schooling in England, I graduated with a BA in 2007. Since then, I have co-founded an art studio and worked on various collaborative events and solo exhibitions. Although I often work on various paint mediums and styles, my core passion has always been working in oil paints for their unrivaled vibrancy and ‘feel’ as well as their historically proven longevity.” – Thomas Dicapite
