Artist Sario Companille
Dario
Campanile’s journey started in Rome, Italy where he was born April 21, 1948.
Dario expressed an affinity for art as a young boy. When he was 14, the artist
was bedridden with a kidney ailment for three months, and his father gave him a
set of oil paints to cheer him up. He painted his first still life in just a
few days. A self-taught artist, once Campanile had mastered the tools, he was
off on a free-spirited ride, never quite sure where he was going, but always
secure in the knowledge that his natural gifts and instincts would take him
into exciting new realms. Meetings with Salvador Dali, who coined him the “Roman
Master” and De Chirico influenced his work as a painter. In 1986 Dario was
commissioned to redesign and create a new logo for the famed Paramount
Pictures. In 2005 Dario was invited to participate on a project called “Missing
Peace”. Dario met the Dali Lama at his home in India where he posed for a portrait
exhibited in the project.After decades of painting realism and surrealism,
Campanile’s work has evolved into abstract expressionism, which is now the
artist’s main focus and passion. Here, he describes what it is like to create
his renowned abstract paintings.
