Artist Bio

Giovanni Di Guida was born in Naples, Italy in 1965. He attended the Sorrento Istituti d’Arte where he perfected his painting techniques. He continues to learn today, only he is taught by nature, rather than an instructor.

Di Guida is influenced by artists of the “True School”, and by the world around him. His mentor is Vincenzo Laricchia. He feels “painting is a clear message coming out from the soul, which highlights the artist’s talent. The warm colors of the sea combined on a canvas with the colors of the sky and nature, creates a rare emotion in both the painter and the viewer.” It is evident in Di Guida’s work that he loves the country that he often paints.

Di Guida has participated in many solo and group exhibitions. His works can be found in many private collections both in Italy and abroad.
