Photorealistic Drawings by Nick Vitelli
Nick Vitelli is an artist from Blacksburg, VA, USA.
I’ve been drawing since a young age. I started doing art seriously in high school because I wasn’t strong academically, and expressing myself through creating art came more naturally.
Some of my main influences are Caravaggio, Rubens, Velasquez, Chuck Close, Amnon David, and Kehinde Wiley.I love the realism and scale of these painters’ artwork. Seeing the beauty of the world and responding to it by creating art is also a great influence and drive for me as an artist.
I am particularly inspired by textures, which is perhaps one of the reasons that I enjoy portraiture so much. I love the very minute changes in color, texture, and form that are found in portraiture. I think that the human face is so beautiful, and I am inspired by how different people look across the world.
