Fazzino 3-D Jewish-Themed Art Prints

Why Does Fazzino, an Italian and Finnish Artist, Paint Jewish Art?

Charles Fazzino has established an artistic niche for himself as a painter of Jewish and Israeli tradition. "My Jewish art collection actually started with my discovery of Kosher food," remembers Fazzino. "I went to the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan and I was always discovering new restaurants, but as a struggling artist, I couldn't afford the finer ones. That didn't matter anymore once I discovered the delis on the Lower East Side. I LOVED them! I was soon exhibiting in the Village art shows and thought the Jewish delis would be an appealing subject, and they were. I began incorporating entire streets in order to capture the unique culture of the area. Eating the food and painting the street scenes led to more research on my part into the people who made this wonderful food. That, in turn, led to my growing knowledge and appreciation of Judaism. I didn't just wake up one day and decide to paint the Star of David. I have spent years researching and appreciating the Jewish faith, and my Jewish collectors seem to appreciate my view of their religion through a gentile's eyes."

Evolution of the Fazzino Jewish-Themed Art Collection

Through his Jewish art collection, Charles Fazzino has explored countless themes of Jewish life, allowing art collectors to capture a little piece of the Jewish heritage in a colorful, uplifting, and sometimes whimsical way. In 2000, Fazzino created a print called "A Celebration of Love" that functioned as a wedding Ketubah and was part of an important four-part art series that defined the most significant aspects of Jewish life. and in 2001, he was commissioned by the Jewish National Fund in Germany to celebrate the organization's 100th Anniversary. Over the years, he has addressed Israel's fight for peace and through his artwork celebrated the proliferation of the Jewish lifestyle and tradition. In 2008, he will release an artwork celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the State of Israel. In some respects, it will be the culmination of his Jewish-themed art collection.
