The Artist

Artist Statement

Tim Gianelli paints in oil to build places that feel familiar, even if they never existed. His scenes are direct and readable, but they carry a quiet emotional charge, like memory at dusk. Using saturated color and rhythmic mark making, he turns skies, rivers, and gardens into a kind of inner weather, where calm and longing can sit in the same frame. His recurring forms, moons, paths, trees, small figures, are not symbols to decode so much as invitations to slow down and recognize your own moods inside the landscape.

​

His work sits in conversation with painters who made feeling structural, like Vincent van Gogh, Pierre Bonnard, Henri Matisse, and Marc Chagall. Collected by major art collectors and public figures, his paintings are held in prominent private collections, including well known, widely recognized collections.
