Vincent Giarrano writes:
My work is about real life experience, painting the beauty that I find in contemporary life. I combine classic and contemporary elements to reflect history and also what life is like now. This is present in the subjects I paint as well as how I've chosen to paint them. My subject for this piece is Amanda Leigh Dunn, a stylish young woman living in New York City. I wanted my painting to resonate as a sincere representation of her lifestyle and character.
