Fine Art Oil Paintings

"I'm haunted by waters..."

In his fine art paintings, there is no doubt that Adriano Manocchia is fascinated by water. His landscapes often become waterscapes, their focal point, an ever-changing fluid mass portraying many different moods and nuances. Where water is not the subject, light becomes the drama. The saturated colors of fiery sunsets, the delicate tones of soft sunrises, the powerful shadows of impending storms transform an otherwise tame landscape into a striking work of art.

Through our site we hope to offer you a glimpse into the world of this highly praised fine art artist. Please have a look around the web site and the selection of Adriano's paintings in the online galleries. While many are already in private collections, they are a sample of the genre and style that have made Adriano one of the top artists today. Feel free to contact us with any questions you might have, or if you are interested in acquiring or commissioning a fine art painting.

As I'm spending my days painting in my Summer studio, I started thinking that you might want to take a peak at my creative space. I love working in this part of my historical barn that I've been restoring a little at a time. This spacious room affords me the opportunity of working on larger paintings and surrounding myself with some of my favorite antiques.

If you find yourself traveling in this area, why don't you stop by and check it out in person? Just let me know before you get here and I'll make sure to be at the studio to greet you. --Adriano
