About the Book

Norman Pirollo, abstract artist at Pirollo Abstracts, describes his fascinating journey of transitioning from full-time employment to being self-employed as an artist. He overcame several obstacles throughout the journey where apprehension about the decision was often at the forefront. Perseverance, fate and critical decisions combined to map out the direction he followed later in life. Often seeking creative outlets, working as a multidisciplinary artist ultimately became his vocation. Norman Pirollo chronicles his fascinating journey over an ten year period. Follow the riveting story of how his technology career evolved into a multidisciplinary art career including sculpture, photo art and ultimately abstract painting. Read how Norman, through determination and perseverance, finally attained his goal of becoming a visual artist. Delving into and studying art history has provided him the art language and background to develop his own vision of art. Discover how he immersed himself into the abstract expressionist movement to develop a style and voice of his own. Find out how, through twists and turns, Norman acquired the skills and techniques to become an award-winning abstract artist today. The opportunity to work at something he truly enjoys has ultimately brought him solace and independence.
About the Author: Norman Pirollo discovered a passion for the arts at an early age. Following a career in the IT industry, he has since embraced his creative side and returned to his passion of creating unique contemporary abstract art. Norman is self-taught in both the fine arts and decorative arts. He currently creates abstract art in the abstract expressionist genre. The compositions are painted to depict an abstract scene and include important elements such as form, contrasting colors, light, and curves. Techniques used to create his art include brushing and scraping the acrylic medium onto canvasses to create a textured, organic experience which draws the viewer in. Rich vivid colors, curves, and intriguing compositions are featured in his abstract work. Norman also enjoys working with micro photography techniques he has developed to create new media art in unique, organic compositions. "I am intrigued by the beauty of abstract expressionist art forms. My work is informed through that of the New York School of Abstract Expressionists (AbEx) as well as the Canadian artists of the Automatiste movement. This opens up a new genre of art to me. I seek out captivating and intriguing compositions to create. The abstract composition, vivid colors, tones, and forms combine to create the final artwork." Norman's work has been featured in books such as "Studio Furniture: Today's Leading Woodworkers," "Wood Art Today 2," "500 Cabinets," "Rooted" as well as various international magazines. He is the recipient of numerous art awards. Norman has recently been selected as a finalist for the prestigious NICHE Awards as well as a finalist for the Art Trends Artist of the Year Award. He has recently authored and published two of his own books. Norman currently resides and operates his studio in Ottawa, Ontario.
