Antonio Sannino

Sannino, born in Naples in 1959, attended the Academy of Fine Arts in his city. After moving to England he started his artistic career and under the guidance of some well-known British artists (amongst whom H.E. Marvin) was noted for his classical style and his well-balanced and striking palette. This young artist’s noteworthy achievements can be attributed to his personal way of analyzing the countryside in minute detail. Each of his works is carried out with perfection and precision. Sannino manages to transmit to the observer the undeniable sense of feeling in his paintings. The variety and richness of the shades and tones he uses enhance his works. Sannino’s paintings have always shown the beauty of distance in landscape with his personal and particular style. He uses blues and purples to create an effect that is both harmonious and contemplative. His classical subjects are distinguished by the splendor he expresses in his paintings. Sannino successfully combines his painter’s skills with a naturalist’s eye. Sannino, an extremely talented landscapist, is well known in both Italy and abroad. His works can be found in many private collections and he has taken part in prestigious exhibitions in Naples, London and Rome.
