Egidio Antonaccio

Egidio Antonaccio is a realistic impressionist whose oil paintings express his love of nature. He is a man gifted with a rare talent. Having studied with some of the great Italian masters of fine art, he has developed a brilliant and commanding style. Born in Castelluccio, Italy, in 1954, Egidio Antonaccio graduated from the Institute of Fine Art in Castrovillari, Italy, in 1973. Then in 1978, he graduated with honors from the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy.

In 1981, Egidio Antonaccio came to the United States and made North Carolina his home. The mountains sunlit valleys and shadowy hillsides have become the inexhaustible source of inspiration for the artist. Nationwide, Antonaccio is mostly known for his floral landscapes, the themes of which vary from the elegance of the garden in a secluded estate to the simplicity of a path with dogwood trees and azalea bushes. His technique is light and delicate and his themes are romantic and gentle; each painting evokes feelings of strength, grace and wonderment. From floral gardens, richly foliaged and filled with summer scents, to vast panoramic views of hillsides and valleys, Antonaccio is multi-talented with ingenious imagination.

Egidio Antonaccio has been remarkably successful since he came to the United States. His works are published by one of the leading art publishing companies, the Bentley Publishing Group, and are included into numerous private and corporate collections throughout the United States and Europe.
