Joseph Lorasso:
love in colors 
Automatic translate
Many connoisseurs of contemporary art are familiar with the work of the American artist Joseph Lorasso. He looks for inspiration in ordinary everyday situations, observing people’s feelings and emotions. Being Italian by origin, he surprisingly subtly personifies human feelings when painting. His creations are imbued with love, devotion, passion, and peace. Looking at them, a person loses his sense of reality. Lorasso’s works reflect only eternal values that are present in everyone’s life and are outside the temporal space. It is not for nothing that many consider Italians the most sensual nation.
A little from the biography
Joseph was born in 1966 in Chicago, Illinois. He was extremely lucky with parents who instilled in the boy a sense of beauty from childhood. Together with his family, he often traveled to his homeland and visited galleries of Italian masters. It was their influence that became the heart of Joseph Lorasso’s work.
He studied at the Academy of Art in America, then entered the Art Institute in Kansas City, where he successfully received a bachelor’s degree. Even at school, the master gave his preference to watercolors and even at the institute continued to work with it. He learned to paint with oil paint himself, adopting the experience of great artists, trying to imitate their technique and style. Most often he creates in an empty room, closed off from everyone.
Operating technique
Joseph Lorasso is extraordinarily demanding of detail. In his works he embodies the smallest details that surround him. Absolutely everything is important to him: colors, shapes, plot, texture. Being a passionate romantic, he fills his works with warm tones, goodness, light, and happiness. However, even his closest people know nothing about his personal life.
The observer will not find negativity, suffering, or pain in any of the paintings. And his indescribable skill allows you to consider the amazing and unusual in the most everyday moments. Here, for example, is the painting “Morning Kiss”. It would seem like nothing special: a guy and a girl are lying in bed in the morning. He hugs her from behind and kisses her neck. But take a closer look: it’s only morning, both have a hard working day ahead, filled with various worries, anxieties and urgent matters. But that will all happen later. Now their faces are serene, relaxed, they are sincerely enjoying the new day. The guy with extraordinary tenderness hugs his beloved, kisses her, wishes her good morning. The girl stretches in his arms with a smile, she is overwhelmed with love and happiness. An ordinary morning for ordinary people, but how many tender feelings, touches, moments of harmony and joy it contains. It is from such moments that simple human happiness is formed, which people do not always appreciate.
Conclusion
Joseph Lorasso has long won the hearts of not only Europeans. Such stunning works will always find a response in the soul of any sensitive nature. After all, there are so many negative moments in life and people always want to find at least some source of joy in it.
