Davide Piubeni was born in Sarezzo, near the city of Brescia in Northern Italy, and graduated from the Accademia delle Belle Arti di Bera, Milan, in 1994. 

Piubeni's artistic career had its beginnings in Brazil, where he produced very large biblical scenes for the church of Viseu, later for the cathedral of Braganca and San Vicent of Paul, in Belem du Para. On his return to Italy in 1995, he had two solo shows, in Brescia and Milan, depicting biblical scenes from the Old Testament. 

As the result of very favorable reviews, several dioceses in major Italian cities commissioned him to create new works for their walls. He has since traveled to Spain, Miami, Australia and to Guatemala having great success portraying local landscapes and showing and commissioning works. 

He has painted California from Mendocino to San Diego and has made his home in Southern California. Davide says:

               "It's beautiful to catch with some fantasy the colors and the shadows early in the morning or at sunset, because at these particular times the contrast of the colors become strong and the shadows long. Then I transform the landscape with the feeling I want to incorporate in my artwork, for example painting big or tiny trees, plants, streets, houses, etc...changing the color of the sky and other spaces."

Doug Bloodworth's artistic perspective is influenced by a childhood affection for American western classics and the quintessential youth of the American dream. 

A combination of Pop Art, photography and textural paint strokes, his work was born from inspirations that began when he was a boy, and have grown into the refined craft of photorealism. 

In 1974, Doug earned a degree in Commercial Arts and went on during the early stages of his career to work in several genres of the art world. From painting caricatures to billboards, Doug's pursuits steered him towards the mastery of fine art techniques and a working mentorship with Marv Gunderson, the exclusive artist for the Marlboro brand. 

Painting iconic works on billboards all over the country was a highlight early on in his career and he still draws from the inspiration and lessons learned during the tour. Doug has since been commissioned to paint two 30' x 200' murals at Tampa's Tropicana Field, a project which took six months to complete and inspired him to focus solely on painting fine art pieces. 

The influence of paper printed comics from eras past is still tangible in Doug Bloodworth's photorealism. Combined with decades of artistic technique and the personal connection offered by his custom works, Doug's collectability is rapidly growing. He is now recognized in the international art community as on of the premiere photorealist painters of this period.
