Born in 1974, Anthony Michael Dinallo became interested in painting at the age of 16. Painting afforded him the opportunity to release the intense emotions of teenage years. Dinallo found that the ability to execute his emotions, visually, was powerful yet therapeutic. Dinallos' first painting focused on the US and its involvement in the first Gulf War - Desert Storm. He began to evolve his subjects - recording his travels, memories and relationships in paint.

Dinallo attended Fordham University and where he studied psychology and art. Through his studies Dinallo was exposed to an art movement which would later become a strong influence in his work - Surrealism. Dinallo was fascinated with the dreamstate, subconscious images, which could be intrepreted with psychology. His canvases began to take on a slanted perspective of reality, not unlike surrealism. Dinallo continued his studies at the School of Visual Arts in New York City where he studied Digital and Graphic Design. This openned a whole new media to express himself.

Over the past few years, Dinallo has travelled the world in search of beauty in nature and human created forms. He has taken up the artform of photography to express his love of life and creativity. He plans on incorporating more of his photography into his paintings as he continues to evolve and experiment with size, media and subject. Dinallo presently resides in Hoboken, NJ with frequent trips to Switzerland and Italy.
