Artwork of Dave Schillaci

Artist Statement

I make commissioned artwork digitally painted. They are printed on to canvas frames, as well as oil and acrylic paintings. I take a dynamic approach to storytelling with my colorful minions of creation (paints). Using contrasting elements of dark and light values with vivid colors that accent my work, evoking emotions of the viewer.
