Aldo Luongo Argentine Artist: B. 1940 - Argentine and California Impressionist. Since as far back as he can remember, Luongo had two great passions: art and soccer. After his athletic career was cut short due to an injury, he arrived in New York City with a dream to pursue his artwork full time.

From his acrylics to his fine art prints, all of Aldo Luongo’s pieces embody the same sense of fluidity and intensity, the result of a true artist engaged in the passionate process of creation. His bold, impressionistic style has often been referred to as “Romance on Canvas”. Central to all of Luongo's paintings is the balance between memory and hope, sorrow and humor, freedom and control.
