Artist Statement

Ken Valastro has been a prolific artist since age three. “I’m frequently drawn to the same subject matter that intrigued me as a child such as figurative scenes and cityscapes.” Encouraged by artistic parents who shunned television, Ken made his own entertainment by drawing, spurred on by an active imagination.  “I would look at cracked paint on the wall and see objects and figures. Valastro’s brushstrokes capture the essence of impressionistic images, allowing the viewer to exercise a bit of their own imagination. His paintings offer an evocative and painterly expression of life’s visual memories.

Ken Valastro teaches the Art Student’s League of Denver and gives frequent workshops.  His work has been collected nationally and internationally.  His paintings may be found in corporate and municipal environs.
