Gastaldi is
immediately identifiable as an artist who immerses himself in the process of
painting, fully focused and involved, in a constant state of creative
motion. Visitors to his studio will often find him working on two or three
paintings at the same time. He moves easily from one to another, first with
a visual critique, and then adding the broad strokes, planes of color, and
detail touches that characterize his work. Somehow, the artist manages to
maintain an intense, completely resolute concentration while gracefully assuring his
visitors that they are not intruding.
The artist
creates evocative landscapes with rich, saturated colors. His depictions of
land, sky and water make a clear
statement about the power and majesty of Nature. Gastaldi's multi-layered abstractions
add a sense of energetic motion and lyric complexity to the mix. A sense of
thoughtful composition is evident
throughout his work, and the finished paintings often seem much larger than
their actual physical dimensions. Gastaldi's work has has been lauded by
internationally recognized art critics such as Edward Lucie-Smith,
who is the author of more than 100 books on art. The artist lives and works in Southern
California. |
