A native of Italy, Campanile’s intense realism and exploration of surrealism have won the praise of peers and critics. Campanile is most renown for his lyrical still-life oil paintings. Through an extraordinary command of detail and sensitivity to symbolism, he is a master of capturing the essence of the single moment. Campanile never does sketches of his work beforehand, preferring to paint directly onto the canvas to retain the spontaneity of the image.
