Robert Maniscalco is a very gifted artist. He has done 2 magnificent large portraits of our 3 daughters. His detail is amazing and his style is wonderful. Thank you Rob, we enjoy these portraits daily and think of you. I strongly recommend to anyone reading this, if you want a magnificent portrait to pass on through the generations of your family, Rob is the artist worth commissioning. And he is kind and fun! We are so lucky and happy we have him as a friend. Oil portraits are such a great investment and so much more magnificent then large photos.With gratitude,Anthony and Theresa Selvaggio

I recently had the opportunity to work with Robert from afar. He is in Charleston, I am in New Orleans. Over a period of several months we shared lots of photos and ideas for layout. Robert was a pleasure to work with and even more fun when Tish and I traveled to Charleston to view the finished product and make final touches. I have recommended Robert to other members of my bench.

Rob is the best teacher of all things art that money can buy. If you want to learn to create brilliance, there is no better place to begin your journey.

Im proud to own the original of what I consider one of Robs most inspired paintings.

I’ve learned so much from Robert in the classes I’ve had with him. It’s been a great opportunity, learning from someone who reads his students well - someone who has taken the time to listen to specific concerns and then has systematically taken the time in class to address them. Through his classes I feel that I’ve reached a break-through and have moved into bolder, more deliberate brushstrokes, in addition to utilizing a much better, more well-prepared palette. Friends and family are commenting on how these lessons have so enormously improved my painting. Of course, I’m really looking forward to future classes. Who wouldn’t be, after experiencing such great results!

I met Rob Maniscalco first when his paintings were featured at a local gallery in West Ashley and absolutely dug his style. At the same time both realistic and surreal in a way I cannot quite beg, his paintings breathe life that isnt exactly life. Like the impressionistic ghost of an image with colors more popping than the eye perceives, thats his art.On top of that, hes involved with some really cool projects and is all around a great guy. Whenever I see him, hes been incredibly kind and funny and a bit goofy. He supports arts in Charleston 100%, so I find that very cool. Hes interested not only with sharing his work but uplifting the artistic visions/voices of others. I dig that.That being said, my favorite work is his portraits. Something he captures in the human expression speaks to me.
