 Hello
I'm Nick D'Aleandro, welcome to my web site. It all started way back
in 1968 in a little place called Isernia Italy, the birthplace of my parents.
It was there that my journey into the world of art started. From very
early on, I liked to draw and doodle for fun, watching others do creative
stuff. I also loved to play and have fun on my grandparents' farm and
watch them work. When I was five, my parents and me moved to Toronto.
When I got older I took an
art history course at York University. I enjoyed studying the great classical
masters from the renaissance, like Leonardo Davinci, Michel Angelo, Rafaello,
Bernini, right up to modern day contemporary artists such as Klee, Miro
Giger Modigliani, Picasso, Moore, Matisse, Rodin, Leger, Syd Mead. They
all played a major role in inspiring me, in to becoming an artist.
I am a visionary thinker
with visionz of the future, and capable of relating my thoughts and feelings
to others through my work. I had my first exhibition at York University
entitled "Utopian Vision" back in 1994. Followed by another exhibit, at
Columbus Center. Entitled "Vision Future" I received plenty of television
coverage, mostly from the CBC, City TV, Telelatino and Global. My work
was very well received, they thought my work was very provocative, stimulating
and intriguing.
I taught art in schools for
a few years. The first school I taught was at Leonardo Davinci Academy
grades five to eight. I shared with the kids my great life long passion
for art. Collaborating with a talented group of children we created a
large matchstick mural on painted plywood. I also created a huge sculptural
piece of an architectural fountain, which was displayed for two years
at the Boccaccio restaurant, located at the Columbus Center. Then I did
a smaller commissioned piece for a man in Montreal. Two years later I
did a retrospective on my work at the "Columbus Center" and people enjoyed
it very much.
These days I work with "Spin
Entertainment" a local animation company, in Toronto, which is in the
process of developing a project I helped, create called Alien Earth. In
the meantime I'm a scouting agent for both Spin and my own joint company
called "Spinfactor" and "Vision Future" with a different group of individuals
from many diverse backgrounds.
