Paul Federico discovered his passion for oil painting at the age of nine under the guidance of William DeVieg, a renowned restoration painter. He further honed his craft at the Art Students League in Manhattan and earned a BFA from Parsons School of Design. Among his mentors was the influential Herman Rose, whose work was showcased alongside legends like Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock in the 1952 Museum of Modern Art exhibition, “15 Americans.” Today, Paul is a dedicated painter and printmaker specializing in surrealism and expressionism. His work reflects a deep connection to imaginative and emotional storytelling. Paul’s prints are available on Etsy at https://www.etsy.com/shop/PrintsOfPlaces, and his paintings can be found on Saatchi Art at https://www.saatchiart.com/paulfederico.
