EDDIE NINO - Born in Colombia in 1978, Eddie Nino came to the United States at the age of 14. Immediately he began taking art classes in the Stamford and Greenwich area focusing on portrait painting and drawing. Studied for more than 10 years in New York City at the Art Students League with Michael Grimaldi and Harvey Dinnerstein. Also studied privately with Andrew Reiss, and participated in the Copying Program at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. One of his goals is to make sincere art inspired by such artists as Edouard Vuillard, Edwin Dickinson, and Antonio Lopez Garcia.
