Vincent Giarrano's figurative paintings in which the artist has taken moments from everyday life, and has made of them something beautiful and introspective.

“What inspires me most is the energy and beauty of my experiences,” says Giarrano. “I see painting as a way to appreciate what is all around us, stuff we take for granted or don't notice. My favorite things to paint are scenes of life in New York City. I love the architecture and people of the city. It's endlessly inspiring. I enjoy painting scenes on the streets but also interiors, which are often about people, alone and in their own thoughts. For me, that presents someone as more truly himself or herself.”
