Biography from SanTaos Gallery:
| | Self-taught and on his way to an art school of technical design, thirteen year old Carlo Gislimberti had his plans change following the death of his father. Instead of picking up a paint brush to pursue his artistic talents, Gislimberti picked up a kitchen knife and began helping to support his family.
Two years spent perfecting the art of peeling potatoes gave him ample opportunity to consider the dual aspects of art and making a living; the latter forcing him to use a dinner plate as his canvas. During his culinary years Carlo earned the industry’s highest accolades.
Carlo Gislimberti was knighted by the President of Italy for his artistic and mouthwatering creations within Italian cuisine. Several times he has been awarded the distinguished DiRoNA Award of Excellence. With his wife Siobhan, he owned and ran a four-diamond Italian restaurant, which was nominated among the “Top Ten Italian Restaurants in the United States” by esteemed Italian food and wine critic Luigi Veronelli.
However, the need to create works of art that would endure proved irresistible. At age forty-eight, after a triple angioplasty that catalyzed a complete change of lifestyle, he bought a canvas, a couple of brushes and signed up for art classes in Taos, New Mexico with Rod Goeble, Ray Vinella and friend R. C. Gorman.
After thirteen years spent honing his skills, studying in programs including University of New Mexico Art School and the Taos Art Association Art Program, Carlo Gislimberti now produces water-based oil paintings of landscapes and still life compositions. His paintings depict the towering Dolomite Mountains of Italy, the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico, the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal, the shores of California and Florida and the many spiritual paths that he has walked through India.
The artist produces his paintings in one sitting He says: “I want the continuity of emotion to be captured in a singular moment.” |
