The Artwork of Donato Giancola

All images on this page are copyright by Donato Giancola

Born in 1967 and raised in Colchester, Vermont, USA, art was always a hobby for Donato as a young man, he would steal away into the basement of his parents home to work on his own dungeon and campaign maps for the game Dungeons & Dragons, paint lead figurines, read comics, and construct model tanks, airplanes and starships. His love of imaginative play dominated his childhood, both indoors and out. At the age of twenty Donato enrolled in his first formal art class, the beginning of his professional training. Immediately after graduating Summa Cum Laude with a BFA in Painting from Syracuse University in 1992, Donato moved to New York City to immerse himself in the inspired and varied art scene. Formative years in the early nineties were spent as the studio assistant to the preeminent figure painter Vincent Desiderio, and long days of study in the museums of New York. It was then that his love and appreciation of classical figurative art took hold. He continues his training even now, visiting museums regularly, learning from and sometimes copying original paintings by Rembrandt or Rubens, attending life drawing sessions with illustrator friends such as the likes of Tony DiTerlizzi, and constantly challenges himself within each new project. Pilgrimages to major museums are his preferred reason to travel.
