As a Raleigh, North Carolina-based artist and cancer survivor, Joe DiGiulio uses his passion for color and the energy that is created from overlapping layers to create mood, tension or the sublime. DiGiulio began working and studying in the abstract expressionistic style during the late 1990s.  His style of painting focuses on the relationship between the four basic compositional elements:  Line, Color, Shape and Texture. His latest work has been inspired from his recent trips to Australia, New Mexico and the South of France.
