A lifelong artist, Brooklyn native Joseph Milazzo has spent his years searching for new means of expression in a variety of mediums including music, writing, illustration, and graphic design. The last few years have seen his focus turn to the canvas where he has at last come into his own as a painter of distinction. His approach balances realism against a more personal, illustrative style. Milazzo's use of earth tones and muted colors imbue his portraits and scenes of everyday life with a sense of stoic sentimentality.
