An optimistic outlook permeates all H. Hargrove works, whether allegorical inventions, still lifes, country barns, imaginary scenes, seascapes, landscapes or other subjects. At heart, all of his paintings — regardless of their overt topics — revolve around and exalt and express an unshakable confidence in the essential goodness and strength of the human spirit.
“My passion is still life, but in all of my paintings I strive to tell a story,” said the artist. “I have been called a storyteller and a poet with a brush.”
By following his inspiration, the self-taught artist has enjoyed an exhilarating career journey. It began innocently and obscurely at a boutique vineyard in upstate New York, where Sturiano worked as a wine chemist, the trade he trained for in Marsala, Italy.
I hope you enjoy my portfolio.
