Christopher Pugliese is a distinguished American artist, born and raised in New York City. His work, deeply inspired by the techniques of his Italian ancestors, is a personal exploration of lineage and heritage.

This collection, spanning fifteen years, captures the emotional and technical evolution of the artist—depicting the struggles, frustrations, and triumphs that come with mastering the craft. Each piece is a reflection of the artist’s journey, confronting the challenges and rewards of creation.
