American painter, born in Italy. He is a self-made artist. His short enrollment in an Art Institute in Naples, Italy was disrupted when he moved to the United States of America. Nevertheless he continued his career as a realist artist until 1977, while working as an Assistant Scenic designer for the Theater Shop in Middlesex County College, New Jersey, he was inspired to paint pure abstract works. His early paintings unknowingly reflected similarities to the famous artist Jackson Pollock.

Vito Pinto's formal art education was interrupted when he immigrated as a teenager from Benevento, Italy to the United States. A top student at the Santa Maria Art Institute in Naples, his subsequent art education was self-directed.

After making the difficult teenage adjustment to a new country and culture, Vito continued his art career as a realist until 1977 when, working as an assistant scenic designer for a theatre company, he was inspired to paint pure abstract works. He eventually found his point of creativity and style.

Throughout his life, Vito has found strength by expressing his emotions through his art. His paintings have evolved to a high level of identity expressing his inate passion and energy.

"I'm a spiritual artist; I paint what I feel, my subconscious dictates the patterns, the visual forms, the identity of the work itself."

The constant need to express and to create is in his soul. It is like writing a novel, a poem about his life.
