Shadow Box Series |
An artist's best work is usually his most imaginative. This is called "conceptual" (or "what if"). The Shadow Box series is a perfect example of this.
What if Sambataro tried combining his photo-realistic painting techniques on the same canvas with other styles, such as impressionism, abstract, or even graphics? The trick was to be able to imagine an approach that might somehow allow these different methods to merge together.
The Shadow Box series not only achieves this convergence, but has become one of the most unique and original images on canvas today.
