Gabrielle Tito, Sculptor of Her Story
Gabrielle spent her childhood between New York and Rome, Italy, immersed in a culture of classical art, fashion and nostalgia for La Dolce Vita. Her greatest inspiration came from the relief sculpture, figurative paintings and costume-design sketches by her late Aunt, artist and costume designer, Rinnà Tito.
As an artist trained in the Old Master tradition, Gabrielle melds classical technique and historical inspiration with fashion and artistic expression of the moment. She tells the story of beauty, femininity and timelessness through figurative painting, sculpture and microsculpture, hand sculpted jewels created to adorn the body and be embraced in the palm of the hand.
Gabrielle mainly works in traditional oil painting. Her Fashion Faces series is a combination of oils, graphite, pastel, gauche and charcoal as well as digital media.
Gabrielle studied art history and studio art at Dartmouth College and earned an MFA from the New York Academy of Art. She studied with artist Gaspare de Fiore in Rome and later apprenticed with artist James Childs in New York City, who continues the atelier tradition of Gerome. She received an honorable mention from the Portrait Society of America for her "Self-Portrait with Velázquez Reflection." Gabrielle lives with her two daughters who inspire her to tell the story of Woman throughout time....
