My name is Anthony Antonio. Antinori Jr. I have been drawing since age 6 and painting in different medias/mediums and various techniques. Through the years I have experimented with different art genres. I was born and raised in Pahuatlan, Puebla until the age of seventeen. I now reside in Brownsville, Texas and completed my high school. I then enlisted in with the Air Force for four years which allowed me to travel and live in different places. This expanded my horizons when it came to art. I was able to appreciate art in many different cultures. After leaving the Air Force I was enrolled in the University of Texas at Brownsville, where I obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Studio Art. I lived in Houston, Texas for one year, but decided that at the moment my family and I would be better off back home. I am presently living in Brownsville, Texas where I continue to paint and draw.
At this moment, I continue full – time painting I have maintained myself occupied collecting information about art galleries or art museums to try and present my artwork.
Artist Statement:
My art work is direct and uncomplicated. I do not spend much time thinking about interpretations, hidden meanings, or high flow artistic philosophies. I paint ideas, emotions, and feelings and try to present it in a broad and global context mind, with an interesting artisitc craftsmanship and perhaps unusual ways.
Before painting, I draw a sketch very carefully of my artwork; planning the colors, values, and sequencing of the entire composition. No matter how challenging my subject is; I will achieve and accomplish my final goal, accidents are rarely welcome, and mistakes are often irreparable. My paintings take various lengths of time to complete. The completion time is a function of the works complexity. Most of my artwork contains a bit of the dramatic, which heightens the impact of the composition. As a painter I supply the mood and the viewer is invited to provide the subtext.
Finally, I believe what ultimately makes a successful painting is the painter’s ability and sensibility to import his/her ideas, emotions and feelings into the artwork and to convey something to the viewer
