My name is Gino Savarino. I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I came to the United States in 1978
and have been painting abstracts ever since. I have 2 years of formal training and the rest are self taught. I'm a full time
artist and I work out of my own studio/gallery here in the Chicago area. My paintings can be found in the Creators Gallery,
in many Chicago high rises, office buildings, restaurants and banks. My work is also privately collected throughout the U.S,
Puerto Rico, Canada, Australia, Greece, The Netherlands, Japan, Hong Kong, Hawaii and the U.K. In addition, many of my pieces
are commissioned by The Chylds Dreyfus Interior Design Group in Chicago & New York for multi million dollar model homes.
I was a gallery owner for many years with Tom Fedro (another ebay artist)
Artist Statement:
I create raw energy on canvas through texture, color and imagination. I do not approach
a canvas with preconceived ideas. Once I place the brush in my hand, it takes a life of it's own. I paint spontaneously and fast without restrictions. All the rules and guidelines
I've been taught, go out the window and I create the indescribable. I concentrate on the technique and not the final result. Once I'm out of energy, the piece is complete. My mission is to have those
who view my paintings to forget about their everyday problems, even if it's only for a few seconds.
