Deladier Almeida Discusses His Art
Almeida, Deladier
With a rich palette and luscious brushwork, Deladier Almeida infuses vitality into each of his subjects, which range from portraits to scenes of contemporary life to brilliantly observed landscapes. His images of California’s varied terrain, depicted from a bird's-eye view that Almeida achieves by flying over regions of the state in helicopters or small planes, are alive with texture and movement.
Del Almeida: Modernist California Landscape Painter - Epi. 99, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
Deladier Almeida discusses his life story of growing up in Brazil and starting as an architecture student, graphic artist, and illustrator before gravitating to fine art, first starting as a portrait painter inspired by a book on John Howard Sanden's work before becoming a landscape artist. Del shares his method and motivation giving me insight into how he creates his work, how his architecture with city planning influenced his landscape paintings, not only from a technical standpoint, but from an emotional standpoint as well.
