Charles Miano

Charles Miano (b. 1977) is an American Artist whose art explores humanistic values, using a classic foundation and contemporary inspiration. Miano is recognized as an Associate Living Master by the Art Renewal Center. He is the Founder and Director of the ARC approved Miano Academy of Art in Sarasota, Florida and an advocate of the revival of Classically Inspired Representationalism.   

Through his personal exploration of the nature of painting and of nature itself, Miano champions representational art past and present. Imbued with life vitality and spirit, his work has often been referred to as "visual poetry." A lush palette, the dynamic use of light and shadow and an urgency of gesture are his most distinctive signatures. His brushwork - bold in color, complex spontaneity - conveys the complicated relationship between hand and eye.
