My name is Antonio Justice Rivera I have had a passion for art since I was a child. I got my first training at San Francisco's School of Fine Art.

It was at the Florence Academy of Art in Florence Italy that I was taught the rigorous discipline of rendering the subject as it appears to the eye.
There I learned the methods of the masters and for four years I studied the human figure, still life and portraiture using the mediums of charcoal and oil paints.

I have learned to view objects abstractly and to use different shading to create the effect of form.

I am presently working on a series of urban landscapes. Illustrating the grace and beauty of an otherwise forgotten subject.
