Empire style drawing and coloring, unique and exotic art. Painted and illustrated in Art Deco style by artist Vito Soriano. Sat, 05 Jan 2008 04:29:39 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/exotica_4.html Exotic Pin Up Girl : A fixation for sexiness and figurative painting. This sexy calendar girl started out as a fun sketch and blossomed into a full blown painting of a sexy lingerie model. Wed, 14 Nov 2007 02:10:26 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/japanese-art-deco.html The Bride. She lets her hair down for the night of the wedding ... I gave this geisha girl a vintage look with her revealing kimono. She combs her hair in front of a lacquered mirror as her lover waits in anticipation. Sat, 10 Nov 2007 08:58:15 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/samurai.html He's in the realm of the ninja, medieval knight, the western gunslinger, the assassin and the kung fu master. Sat, 10 Nov 2007 08:56:40 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/young-geisha.html Her exotic kimono is both traditional and modern. I wanted to show her face without the white make up that geishas are known for. The title Young Geisha refers to the apprentice geisha (called Maiko)...As fashion evolves , it seems to keep looking back to the golden age when times were authentic and different. Mon, 05 Nov 2007 16:08:10 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/femme-fatale.html The symbolism of this vintage vamp grooming herself in front of a large art deco mirror suggests a visual image of a skull (fatale). Here, she is preparing for an annual Costume Ball. Tue, 30 Oct 2007 19:21:29 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/fashion-illustration.html Dasha is one of the gorgeous Russian models featured here and at Renee's site! As you know, I painted billboards of glamourous women and rockstars before the Web. Here, I've painted Dasha for the first issue of MODUS - one of many sexy fashion magazine cover art illustrations that I unveil as ... Billboard Showgirls online! This one is in the exotic pop art genre of Femme Fatale (Film Noir) and Las Vegas. Halloween Party mood is here and those that dare to join these Murder Mystery Party games get to play some wild characters! Mon, 29 Oct 2007 01:42:44 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/Cleopatra-mosaic.html Painting Attributes and Motifs : I just love focusing on these aspects of my paintings...I want to combine painting and sculpture with exonumia. (Exonumia is a branch of coin collecting not limited to antique coins, as it includes gold tokens, commemorative icons, objects and amulets). These icons are embedded in Cleopatra's Mosaic ;-) and they link to special events, versions, puzzle clues, works-in-progress and digital compositions. Fri, 05 Oct 2007 22:22:43 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/pop_4.html This is another vintage art in the Art Deco style. I will always have an element of this exotic style integrated in my designs. Here are some of its appealing attributes... Thu, 04 Oct 2007 15:04:53 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/aboriginal-symbols.html Aboriginal symbols and icons : Dot painting and X-ray art are some of my favorite tribal motifs. I've painted this rustic aboriginal hunter with graphic symbols from traditional aboriginal art. My contemporary interpretation focuses on the tribal imagery of aboriginal body painting... and the animalier design of Art Deco. Tue, 02 Oct 2007 02:28:34 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/geisha-paintings.html Sexy icons of Geisha Paintings and Samurai embedded in exotic mosaic. Kanji symbol for Geisha and more exotic Japonisme to come...watch for Bravura Islands ... Subscribe to my RSS feeds for updates ... sketches, drawings, unveilings... Sun, 09 Sep 2007 22:47:06 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/sexy-paintings.html Exonumia : These mosaics hold the icons that link to Conversation Pieces (drawings, digital exonumia, antique coins, digital art stencils, Zodiac and tattoo symbols). They open Sexy Drawings Expo, a platform that allows you to share some insight and your piece of history (antique coins). These are Special Events with iconic and commemorative trinkets, which feature unveilings of my art and fun scavenger hunts. The final destination (paintings) will form a series of exotic Calendar Art and Vintage Erotica. Tue, 04 Sep 2007 10:12:07 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/alchemy-diamond.html Jesus painting. Art therapy in a holistic sense. Crystals have always been associated with mystique and spiritual energy. I'm getting my own positive vibes from simply painting them - unless my technique slips ;-) After all, it's got to be what happens within us when we sense the alchemy of personal power. This artglass version incorporates an alchemy of cubist fragmented shapes and facets of crystalline reflections.

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 21:16:10 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/crystal_7.html Desiderata poem by Max Ehrmann with spiritual painting by Vito... 7 7 7...Today is the seventh day of the month, the seventh month of the year, and the seventh day of the Millennium. I chose this day to open the Bravura Islands and to commemorate this very Special Event. Sat, 07 Jul 2007 16:59:43 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/exotica_3.html Japanese art and Impressionism : The flat and decorative nature of traditional Asian art makes the oriental artist a master of composition. The woodblock prints of Utamaro and Yoshitoshi are some of my favorites. Here, I combined the western art of chiaroscuro and the flat and decorative attributes of oriental painting to paint this geisha. Wed, 27 Jun 2007 18:31:26 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/tropicana_20.html Here in Hawaii, exotic girls are part of the tropical experience. I focused on this sexy Hula girl siren on the beach to illustrate the Tiki bar theme and exotic mermaids! This tropical beach painting embodies many of the romantic attributes of my impressionist Tropicana Island images: The pensive native islander, the imminent glow of a Maui sunset...the tall and tanned sexy Ipanema girl on the beach, rocky shores and other rustic tropical motifs. Sun, 24 Jun 2007 20:20:27 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/tropicana_1.html Beach paintings, exotic women paintings and tropical art. Tiki bar, Island Art and Aboriginal paintings. Explore the lazy beach bars, lounge music, cocktails, sexy paintings and calendar girls in this tropical paradise. Thu, 14 Jun 2007 03:38:43 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/crystalprincesszoom.html My Art Glass Motif : Here, I've incorporated the frosted glass and Florentine mosaics in my painting "Crystal Princess". I envisioned her as a fantastic crystal goddess figure with etherial qualities...I used an art glass motif to evoke the special quality of light that one gets from looking at a radiant object. Mon, 11 Jun 2007 18:46:52 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/crystal_2.html Empire Style Art Deco painting featuring the legendary Cleopatra. The contemporary aspects are most evident in the reflective "art glass" effect. The rest is a (complex) stylization of everything Egyptian like Egyptian exotic jewelry, combined with art deco fashion, glamour art, colorful mosaic and cubist art. Thu, 07 Jun 2007 18:14:07 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/exotica_2.html I've given her a rustic and elegant look. In this impressionist tropical painting, I used an impasto technique. I painted her with a palette knife to build a heavy impasto texture. I wanted a rustic fresco painting texture so I built up the layers of paint. Mon, 04 Jun 2007 14:39:51 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/triad_b.html Triad B : "Happy Hour", "Crystal Cleopatra" and "Native". Treasure Island : Search for Treasure Online (see a demo). I'm hiding a mystery icon (a clickable link) in one of these SpyGlass Ads. It holds the key to a treasure. To hunt for the treasure... find the CLUE in the Blog page to see what it looks like For example: a snippet of graphic or logo from an actual SpyGlass Ad currently used by the sponsor. Sun, 03 Jun 2007 17:12:35 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/triad_c.html Triad C features "On the Beach" (an impressionist painting of a mother and child in Tropicana Island) : "Discovery" (a sexy mermaid painting in Crystal Island) : "Oriental Beauty" (an exotic geisha painting in Exotica Island). Sun, 03 Jun 2007 17:01:48 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/crystal_8.html Siren (Sirenes) is surely one of my favorite faery art works that focuses on the fantasy art of exotic women. I painted this exotic mermaid with an Art Deco Lighting effect and I gave her unique and exotic skin tone a cross between that of a human and that of neon fish scales---as one would encounter with creatures of the deep. I also made her glow from within like some of the exotic fish that mysteriously flash luminous and translucent colors to attract their mates...or warn their enemies. Mon, 28 May 2007 22:37:18 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/exotica_5.html Salome has inspired so many artists over the centuries. Here, she models her exotic lingerie for a classic painting...for my island resorts. I used the Las Vegas showgirl as a motif for a contemporary glamour art version of Vintage Erotica. Sun, 27 May 2007 05:32:29 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/exotica_1.html Vintage Erotica and Classic Art : Immerse yourself in the tribal colors of this sexy destination. Encounter exquisitely beautiful pictures of sensuous geishas, seductive beautiful naked women, Bohemian lovers and party animals drinking to the full moon. Delight in a blend of Romantic Paintings, Pin-Up art and Vintage Erotica---with a twist of Art Deco. Sat, 26 May 2007 08:52:10 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/exotica_6.html In this rather animated Vintage Erotica painting, Margarita is here to grace Exotica Island with her tantalizing Latino dance Las Vegas style! I've seen some collectible vintage posters of exotic Latino women over the years. Some of them are compiled in art books and some are featured in advertising calendars. Here, I've given Rita a contemporary yet vintage look which incorporates the Las Vegas motifs and the Resort themes that resemble vintage travel posters. I painted her with staccato and loose brushwork to suggest rhythm and movement, tropical ambiance and shifting light. Sat, 26 May 2007 08:22:14 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/artist.html Artist Vito Soriano's romantic art echoes that of exotic Art Deco and Florentine mosaics. His ideas evoke the aesthetic ideals of European Art: Dutch, Venetian and Italian masters, 19th Century Victorian Art, French and British Salon artists and their fashionable portraitists, and Russian and American Impressionists. Sat, 19 May 2007 22:15:27 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/bohemian-articles-2.html Learn Drawing, Design and Composition :: Vision and fundamental aspects of creating a painting. The Art Triangle clarifies important guidelines for developing your style and creativity. Some artists paint to express a personal statement...or to create impact---and some do it for aesthetic reasons. There are two sides to (my) art and both are constantly evolving in a continuum...

Tue, 15 May 2007 07:25:01 GMT http://www.exoticdestinationpaintings.com/crystal_10.html The Dancing Waters of the magical Fountain of Youth form a backdrop for these ageless beauties. Sexy mermaids and angels of love mingle for a swim and aromatherapy. Now we know how they get to look so young and beautiful. One of several Fountains of Youth painted by Vito Soriano.
