The artist Robert Finale is no stranger to struggles and adversity. At the
tender age of two, he along with his family fled the communist ruled
country of Cuba for a life of freedom and opportunity in the United
States. Here Robert learned the value of hard work and discipline and
realized his potential to pursue his passion for art. This passion, Finale
explains, began very early in life. As a young boy of five, Robert Finale
was seldom without a pencil and sketchpad in hand, sketching everything
from movie scenes to family vacation destinations. Robert's love for
brushing oil onto canvas came much later, when his early childhood
sketch were brought to life in a special gift to his wife. From humble
beginnings, today his paintings grace several Galleries all over the world.
The first, however, has a special place in his family home.
Robert Finale's images originate from his childhood sketches, which his
mother always lovingly treasured and encouraged him to keep
Each painting is a journey of unspoken words and hidden whispers of
freedom, nurturing the hopes and dreams that exist within all of us. These
feelings are resurfaced and unveiled through beautiful city images in
romantic surroundings placing the viewer in the dream world of
unconscious thought. A quiet, gentle natured man, Robert Finale uses his
paintings to communicate with each individual person. Using rich colors
and textures, Finale has developed his own rich vocabulary in a painting.
Expressing this rich language through places and entities allows him to
tap into his own world and the fragile emotions that exist within all of us.
The emotion that a person feels upon examining a piece of art is the
beauty of this communication. As Robert places the final brush stroke on
the canvas he is conscious of the fact that art is a universal language.
Therefore, one canvas represents the window to millions of different
emotions that have existed and exist through all of us, giving the viewer a
powerful, tool to look within his own world, for the understanding of life’s
journey.
