Biography
“I have lived in many places, and I believe they have all influenced my career in one way or another.” W.P.
Master Wladimiro Politano, was born on February 19, 1940, in Lago (Cosenza) Italy. As a very young child, he discovered his inclination toward art. After graduating in 1965 from the “Accademica di Belle Arte di Roma”, Politano started his artistic journey as a drawer, painter and sculptor. When leaving Rom e in 1966, he took up residence in Caracas, to become the artist’ second home.
While visiting NY in 1973, Politano was inspired by the worldwide center for the artists, and decided to set up a studio there. At that time, he was alongside other prominent artists, which influenced the begin-ning of his contemporary work. Together they exhibited their artwork in several galleries throughout NY.
In 1980, the mayor of the New Rochelle, NY, commended Politano for his outstanding artistic contribu-tion to the promotion and success of both the art from private collection and public project of “Art on Plaza”. In 1981, he was invited for a group exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Toyama, with artists such as Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Calder and Rothko. During that period, Politano held several exhibitions at museums in United States, Austria, Italy and Venezuela.
The Kunstlerhause Museum of Vienna, invited him to join the Austrian artists from the school of Fantas-tic Realism to celebrate a hundred years of the Museum.
Biography
Politano`s first exhibition in Miami, Florida was at the Metropolitan Museum and Art Center of Coral Gables 1981. Following immediately after the exhibitions were displayed at the University of Miami and Virginia Miler Gallery.
By the time the artist returned to Caracas in 1983, Politano had become well known for his worldwide projects. Some of his monumental sculptures are on display at the metro station in Caracas, and others are located at the town plaza in the artists hometown Cosenza - Calabria, Italy.
In 2003, Politano was invited as a curator and artist to participate in the “II Biennial of Painting” in Konstgall Väsby, Stockholm, Sweden.
In 2005, his artwork was exhibited among South American Artists at the Museum of Latin American Art.
Wladimiro, was awarded by the President of the Republic of Italy for his sculpture and painting “The Italy in the World Award”. This exclusive award can be granted only to people born in Italy, who have been recognized internationally.
