Rinaldo Skalamera was born in Rijeka, Croatia in 1954. As a young artist he began to draw and paint the picturesque surroundings of his homeland. He moved to the United States with his family when he was thirteen, but continues to draw inspiration from the old towns and fishing boats he remembers from Istra, Croatia.
In 1975, he entered a contest which earned him a full scholarship with the Art Instruction Schools of Minneapolis. It was indeed an honor as Skalamera was selected as a winner from thousands of applicants throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. After successfully completing his academic requirements, Skalamera began his professional career as a freelance illustrator. Skalamera has drawn and painted everything from fashion models and electronics to dogs and corporate executives. But it is his native homeland of Croatia which infuses him with a creative spirit few can equal.
A master of realism, Skalamera’s paintings also communicate emotion. With symphonic precision he translates familiar subjects onto his canvas with a unique perspective, orchestrated by the delicacy of his brush strokes and the subtle hues of his palette.
Skalamera has refined his skills as an artist by attending the Fashion Institute of Technology where he studied fashion illustration and fine arts, and later, at the Art Students League in New York. His is a full time member of the American Society of Marine Artists.
Skalamera has earned numerous awards and his works have been published in Playbill, Illustrator Magazine, Chicago Social and the East Hampton Star. His paintings have been purchased by many private and corporate collectors in the United States, Croatia and Italy. - More Information
