Salvatore de Chirico: A Man of Many Seasons

Salvatore de Chirico was born into an Italian family in upstate New York. Believed to be a descendant of surrealist Giorgio de Chirico, Salvatore started his journey at the young age of six years old when his mother gave him a sheet of paper and a worn down pencil. Together they would sit around the small kitchen table with his siblings and draw for hours on end. This was how it all began. While in school Salvatore would draw pictures of classmates on the back of textbooks or book reports which sometimes landed him in hot water with his teachers; but, even they recognized his talent and praised him for it. Now, some forty-five years later, that little boy sitting around the kitchen table has become an accomplished artist and musician.
