Painter
Anthony Casasanto

Painting and cooking have been my source of
communication about my beliefs and what I love in the world.
Fine art and culinary art each begin with a dialogue between the
artist and subject, as both disciplines share a concern with value,
balance, color, proportion and harmony. Knowing that we eat
with our eyes, I prepare and arrange food accordingly. It is the
fine arts that showed me what I instinctively felt. I see beautif
food presentation as a work of art.
I have always enjoyed looking at my work as it develops into
the final stages. As in my cooking, I can realize the subjecti
and intellectual choices I make during the painting process, and
make decisions as to the purpose of the work. Never do I feel
the need to attack a canvas but enjoy the lines developing into
shapes and compositions that reveal the truth of making art. It is
dialogue.
Still life, florals, sea and landscapes, plus the figure, are
subjects in my works. I have been through many phases, and
mostly my work can be remembered by color, shapes, and an
expressionistic approach. I want to known as an artist who
represents peace and harmony, respecting the landscape and
adoring the beauty that life offers us.
