  • Artist Statement

    I was in advertising in NYC for more than 25 years. Some others and I

    prided ourselves in creativity. In fact, my last television campaign won the

    Clio Cannes Film Festival Award. But the business side took over completely,

    and I knew it was over for me. Money just wasn’t enough.

    In many discussions with my wife she kept saying “I think you should be a

    painter” and I repeatedly said, “are you crazy!”. We were enjoying a

    certain lifestyle that wasn’t bad….but painting?

    I thought I was superman until I tried it. There were paintings that

    refused to be painted… so I planted a tree instead. As frustration mounted,

    more trees were planted until people passed my house by. They couldn’t

    find it.

    Painting comes from my heart and recently at our State Capitol, I received The

    NM Governor’s Award for Artistic Excellence and Lifetime Achievement.

    Take it from me, this doesn’t happen every day.

    I don’t plant trees anymore…so take a look. I hope you won’t be

    disappointed.

    VINCENT N. FIGLIOLA, award-winning CreativeDirector, over 25 years, moved from Manhattan to New Mexico to express his
    purely creative leanings in a new landscape. In his own words, he came to New Mexico…"tosee if he could become a serious painter,to paint the human epic in classical
    terms.” Preferred mediums include oil,egg tempera, mixed media, original graphite drawings, and limited edition stone
    lithography. Art critics refer to Vincent as “the artist who paints the
    Renaissance, and makes it now.”


    In the 1980’s prior to an interview with the BBC,Leo Castelli, the international art critic and founder of movements in modern
    art, predicted that Vincent would be one of the important realistic painters of
    this century. Apparently, he has.


    Now 89, Vincent is recognized as a Living Master in ContemporaryRealism.

    include the Hebrew inscription upon the cross. It was purchased by Dr.& Mrs David Taber , fine art collectors.
