About

Michael Giliberti’s original artworks are characterized by vivid colors and powerful compositions. His work exemplifies Modernism and in particular modern wall art. The inspirations of his mixed media artworks are his own photographs. He mixes aspects from several photographs and carefully separates the patterns of color that he sees in his photos. He translates these into a complex layering of acrylic paint onto the canvas to add depth with new color combinations and subtle textures. As a result, each artwork evolves and changes from the first stroke to the last.

This one-of-a-kind colorful 24 inch square original artwork is wired and ready to hang. It is framed in a thin black wooden frame and signed by the artist on the front of the artwork. Size and price include frame. Affordable US and worldwide shipping. A certificate of authenticity issued by the gallery is included.

Michael Giliberti studied graphic design at Parsons School of Design in New York and UCLA, and printmaking at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles. Prior to committing full time to his painting and printmaking, Giliberti enjoyed a successful career as a creative director in corporate advertising. It was his interest and exposure to photography, combined with his training as an artist, which formed the basis of his creative process.

Vying for the attention of the observer, the playful shapes and bright lights of roadside signs have left lasting impressions on the artist. They became one of the irresistible sources of inspiration for his mixed media works on canvas. His keen interest in mid-century modern architecture, swimming pools and society pervade all his works. Giliberti muses, “I paint subjects that may be familiar to people or attract their attention; maybe a place they’ve visited, or possibly somewhere they’d like to go.”
