Since 1980, Robert Maniscalco’s commissioned portraits and fine art have become part of over 850 private and public collections throughout North America. Robert’s painting method is built on the classical painting traditions of Rembrandt, Velazquez, Hals and Sargent. Like these artists, Robert explores the use of light and shadow as a means of creating mood and achieving character expressively in his subjects.
Born in Detroit, Robert is the son of internationally renown portrait artist Joseph Maniscalco, with whom he apprenticed during the early 1980’s. In 1997, after a three year portrait residency in New Orleans, he returned to Detroit to found the Maniscalco Gallery, which showcased many local and international artists. As host of Art Beat, the critically acclaimed and popular PBS series on Detroit Public Television, he explored the creative process with his celebrated guests. He has created two DVDs on painting portraits, called The Power of Positive Painting. To learn more, visit his website at:
