Joe Giuffrida High Point, North Carolina

Artist Joe Giuffrida paints impressionist landscapes frequently balanced with architectural arrangements. His artistic vision diverges from traditional styles depending on the subject at hand. "My creative energy is best developed through being on-site, observing a location, and getting the feel of the environment," says Joe. An expression of what is felt but not necessarily seen flourishes in his work, pushing the limits of color and value beyond what is there. Joe sought mentorship through workshops and college classes, then supplemented his learning by reading books on art techniques. He developed a firm belief in his craft being good through the perception of feeling rather than visuals. Emotional connections hold a crucial part of his creative process, challenging himself to be able to convey his responses while leaving room for the viewer's interpretation. He works in two studios, one for subtle watercolor painting and the other for bold and heavy acrylics and oils - systemized by organized clutter. His work has been featured in American and European publications and displayed in England, Germany, France, and the United States. Outside of painting, he channels his prowess as a musician, spending considerable time learning new guitar music. American culture, history, and biography also occupy his evenings when he has time to spare.

    Artist Statement

    Joe Giuffrda is an impressionistic painter whose artistic vision often moves toward expressionism depending upon the subject at hand. He will often push the limits of color and value in his paintings beyond what is there, in an attempt to express what is felt but not necessarily seen, believing that a painting is not good because it looks like something, but because it feels like something. He likes to “leave room for viewer participation” by not being too literal in his interpretations. His influences range from Winslow Homer and J.S. Sargent to contemporary artists such as Edgar Whitney and Charles Reid.
