If you want a portrait by an artist using contemporary tools look no further than Monty Carlo. Educated at a London art school he brings portraiture bang up to date, whilst somehow also working in a fine art tradition that goes back centuries. “My work, inspired in part by the portraits of Titian and Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino aims to create a fun, bubbly image that looks good in any collection. As a sports fan I particularly love working on portraits of sports stars, but I’m happy creating art for any collector.
Today Monty crafts exquisite society portraits using digital techniques and skills.
I regard the day I purchased my first work by Monty Carlo as the day I first came alive. Without doubt he is the Giovanni Boldini/ Mondrian hybrid that the art world has been waiting for for centuries.
Coridian Pelikan, collector of MONTY CARLO and Southern Turkish carpets between 1700 and 1705
