Portrait Artist Robert Maniscalco
About Having a Maniscalco Portrait
Having a legacy oil portrait by nationally renowned portrait artist, Robert Maniscalco, expresses love in a way a car, a Rolex or a diamond never will. We hope you will enjoy Robert’s gallery of heirloom, legacy portraiture, created for the ages. As one of America’s top portrait painters, Robert travels all over the world to create heirloom portraits in oil, pastel and charcoal, including executive, political, religious, military, judicial and family portraiture. His award winning work can be found in over 1,200 private and public collections.
Once referred to as a “Society Portrait,” a fine oil portrait was a symbol of prominence and nobility. Today, bringing a portrait into being carries with it a much more profound and personal meaning.

Richard Avedon famously said that “All photographs are accurate, none of them is the truth.” “I like to think, perhaps truth can be found only in the painted portrait.” rm
Everyone I paint will die. And everyone I paint will, in a sense, live forever. A portrait tells the story of our legacy, well after we are gone. In time, your portrait will be more you than you.

A portrait is the most eloquent way to recognize those who have achieved a high level of excellence and/or esteem in their lives. It’s not an ego trip because it is an expression of one’s relationship with others.
Robert’s portraits of children eloquently capture this special time
“I don’t over think who the subject is that I am painting. I’m only ever asking one question when I paint: how can I make this individual appear at least, if not more kind and lovable than I found them? I’m going for depth over superficial appearances. As an artist, my goal to to speak light into the world.” rm

The Art of Portraiture
“When I encounter my subject I try to get a sense of how they move through space, their rhythm and energy, to learn what drives them. I become them in a way, so I can paint myself.” rm
“As a portrait artist, I not only paint the light as it falls upon my subjects but also the light emanating from within.“ rm
“The presentation of a portrait, is both a solemn and joyful occasion. I like to think of my portraits as the HOW of why a person is the way they are.” rm

Thanks to Jeanette of Art & Faith Galleria for finding my portrait of Mother Teresa a good home. If you are in Royal Oak, MI, make it a point to stop in and see the amazing artwork, as well as Jeanette's unique and magnificent collection of icons and rosaries. The work at A&FG is not always overtly religious, but it is always awe-inspiring, reminding us that God is everywhere and in all things. I think this is a time where we are seeking a deeper meaning.
My portrait of Mother Teresa joins my Pope Leo portrait as my most recent art sales. I think God is trying to tell us something. What do you think?

Barack and I were so honored to have @NjidekaAkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!
