Pino was born in Bari on November 8, 1939, he began his studies at the city’s Art
Institute.
In 1960 he entered Milan’s Academy of Brera
where he perfected
his talent and
skill for painting nudes.
In the two years he studied at the
Academy,
he came under the influence
of the
Pre-Raphaelites and Macchiaioli.
Pino also experimented with Expressionism of
the late sixties during his stay in Milan.
From 1960 to 1979 his work appeared in several major exhibitions throughout Italy
and Europe. At the same time, he was commissioned
by Italy’s two largest publishers.
Mondadori and Rizzoli, for book illustrations. However, Pino felt restricted in Milan.
He wanted more artistic freedom which he believed existed in the United States.
In 1979, he emigrated to the United States under the sponsorship of Borghi Gallery
where
he held several shows in New York and Massachusetts. In 1980, after
knocking on many doors, Zebra Books Publishers commissioned him to do his first book
cover. His interpretation was new, fresh and sensual, an illustration so successful that
he gained entry into creative relationships with many leading publishers of Romance
novels. 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 has dominated and
influenced the market.
