WHAT’S NEW

Gallery of “Going Home (US Soldier Vietnam)” is now live

Posted on by Matt DiPietro

I’ve uploaded a new gallery featuring my work “Going Home”. This work depicts a wounded US soldier from the Vietnam war. With my work I seek to be both evocative and technically excellent. I feel this piece achieves my goal. With these pictures I hope you can open up and experience the work for yourself.

“The Prison of Medusa” Gallery is live

Posted on by Matt DiPietro

The gallery of my piece “The Prison of Medusa” has been added to the Fine Art Miniatures Gallery. The original sculpture by Mindworks Studio was modified with the face being resculpted to give a different expression. The diorama was produced by hand. The painting of this diorama was inspired by the artwork “Egyptian Queen” by Frank Frazetta. Winner of Best Diorama at Las Vegas Open 2024.

“Homecoming” Gallery is up in Fine Art

Posted on by Matt DiPietro

I painted this piece a couple years ago. Until recently I had serious trouble getting satisfactory photos; it is just so small! Enjoy the Gallery

“After years of war he sees his home again for the first time. His tools lie rusted in the field where nature has grown in his absence. A heaviness grips him. In his heart he longs to set his sword against the wall; to rust and rot and to never be taken up again. May the earth cleanse his hands and his sweat ease his burden. But, the sword will lie hidden in some dusty place under the eaves…. Sharp, silent and ready.”

The Ice Fisherman of Titan Gallery is up!

Posted on by Matt DiPietro

Today the Cassini Space craft makes it’s final plunge into the atmosphere of Saturn. In honor of this great achievement I want to share a project of mine that was inspired by Cassini’s great journey: The Ice Fisherman of Titan.

His skin is cracked and weathered beyond his years. Yet, in his eyes, hope shines like rings glittering in the light of a distant sun.

This project is dedicated to My Father Stephen DiPietro. Thank you for always encouraging me to shoot for the stars no matter how distant. I love you Dad.

Take me to the gallery!

 

New Sketch Style Gallery added

Posted on by Matt DiPietro

I’ve added a new gallery of the sketch style models I painted last year. When I started this revolution in the way I paint gaming miniatures I could not have hoped for such great success with the method. Thanks so much to my clients and supporters. I will be offering many opportunities for you to learn this great method for painting. Check out our Events Page for more information on upcoming workshops!
