Vito M. Pinto

Vito M. Pinto's paintings have a movement that is rarely seen in figurative art. For me, Pinto's work embodies all that I love about the surrealists and the futurists. His work is the perfect marriage of dream and movement. He takes us into dreamscapes where the subconcious doesn't just stand still for us to admire but his world moves so that we might imagine where the figures are going. Perhaps, we even wonder if we might go with them.

This from Pinto's website:

His paintings now have evolved to higher level of identity with much more energy and passion. The constant need to express and to create is in his soul where the subconscious enables him, through his life experiences, to find fulfillment and inner peace. His subject may be of surrealistic, metaphorical or metaphysical elements.

His use of color moves his work through the linear, cylindrical patterns of his mind's eye and brings each piece to a new perspective reflecting the constant changes of his ongoing thought processes which comes from his past, present and his emotions. Surrealistic human shapes evolve from this change. It is like writing a novel, a poem about his life.
