Gaetano Caldarola

pittore

I graduated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, Italy and my passions are Painting, graphic-design and photography.

I combined the artistic knowledge developed through years of practice and research with technical knowledge , ranging from the video graphics to digital printing, painting and engraving, from web-design to graphic interfaces to multimedia titles. 

The contamination of the arts is the prominent feature in my work. Painting is combined with photography and computer graphics. From pure decoration to “alternative” pictorial representation. From portraits to the figurative to the abstract for a 360 degree research.

When I was still a student, my teacher told me: " work on the graphic interface, that's the future"

It was 1993. After Graduated in 1996, I started working as webmaster and web designer actively partecipating at various projects mainly for interior design and furniture companies.

On 2001  I was hired by a Industrial Photography Studio where I was responsible of the transition from Analog to Digital Photography. When the final purpose is high quality commercial press prints, each photo has to be digitalized or shoot in Digital. Digital cameras and digital backs were still not fully developed and the picture's quality was not comparable with large format films, anyway we still could have nice prints from 6 mpx digital back.

On 2004 decided to start my adventure as on board photographer for Costa Cruise line. What  amazing experience is travelling around the world and meet a lot of people while you do the job you love even if dreams don't last forever.

2005  I started my own business in which I put together all my skills and experience.  Websites, videos, animations, corporate images.

I moved to Canada on 2010 and soon I started working as copywriter and producer at Chin Radio TV international, in Toronto.
Now a new adventure begins working in a News broadcasting show for a Canadian tv station actively partecipating to the production as  cameraman, video editor, news research and writer
