Italian artist, Pino Daeni's art and canvases elicit feelings of warmth, nostalgia, love and family. His paintings are often set on vibrantly sunny beaches, typically in the Mediterranean where he grew up. Pino (born Giuseppe Dangelico) is noted for his exceptional ability to capture the movements and expressions of his subjects - a talent which has brought his artwork a worldwide following and private commissions to do portraits.

Pino's alter ego, a young boy surrounded by beautiful women, (sisters, aunts and cousins), is found in various states of emotion ranging from adoration to isolation. Many of Pino's characters are depicted inhabiting sensuous boudoirs or dressing rooms in anticipation of their husband or lovers.

Trained in Italy at the Art Institute of Bari and later at Milan's Academy of Brera, Pino perfected his skills painting nudes and figure studies.

After establishing himself as a successful artist in his native land, Pino immigrated to the United States in search of more artistic freedom and opportunity. Pino's early paintings featured soft romantic characters - women dressed in flowing skirts and dresses - and these caught the attention of both Dell and Zebra Book Publishers. In 1980, Zebra commissioned him to do his first book cover.  His popularity grew within the literary community and he became the artist-in-demand for Zebra, Bantam, Simon, and Schuster, Harlequin, Penquin USA and Dell. To date, Pino has illustrated 3,000 books, his style dominating the market.

Pino's technique, his warm and exciting colors and his subtle approach to his subjects are the reasons why his original paintings and his hand-embellished limited editions and giclees are sought-after by collectors throughout the art world.
