Diane Romanello was born in New York City in 1944. A self-taught artist, her stunning work is often categorized as romantic realism. Romanello creates inviting landscapes that invite the viewer into the composition, often characterized by a path or other central entry point into the landscape that leads the viewers eye into the scene. I want the viewer to feel as though they can step right into my work, she notes. Romanello uses sumptuous color to depict the natural world realistically, but theres a tranquil and inviting calm in her artworks that the real world often lacks. Because of this charm and uncanny beauty in her work, her one-person shows regularly sell out, and shes featured prominently in many private and corporate collections, including those of AT&T and Columbia Pictures. |
