About Gerard Mineo

Gerard is a 50 year old artist from France and has been interested in art since 1983. After studying architecture for 4 years, he decided it wasn’t his calling in life, so he devoted his life to painting portraits.

Gerard fell in love with Pastels when he was 16 years old after seeing the work of an Italian portrait artist. After several years of training from photos and live models, Gerard put all his effort into becoming the amazing professional artist that you see today.
