Joseph A. DiPastena is a modern impressionist artist from New York, specializing in oil and acrylic paintings. He kicked off his artistic career after receiving encouragement from teachers throughout the years. His work is often distinguished by a modern, fresh, contemporary, loose, and memorable approach, capturing unique moments in time. Drawing inspiration from the 20th-Century American painter and printmaker, Edward Hopper, DiPastena translates his impressions of modern American life and landscapes directly into his artistic creations.
