Del Almeida: Modernist California Landscape Painter - Epi. 99, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
Show Notes

Deladier Almeida discusses his life story of growing up in Brazil and starting as an architecture student, graphic artist, and illustrator before gravitating to fine art, first starting as a portrait painter inspired by a book on John Howard Sanden's work before becoming a landscape artist. Del shares his method and motivation giving me insight into how he creates his work, how his architecture with city planning influenced his landscape paintings, not only from a technical standpoint, but from an emotional standpoint as well. Del moved from Brazil to California where he studied under such luminaries as Wayne Thiebaud, Roland Peterson and Roy Dean Deforest at UC Davis. This podcast details an interesting journey from São Paulo all to Davis, California, and everything in between. I think you'll really enjoy this interview, I know I did and am thrilled to be able to represent his work at Medicine Man Gallery.
