Venosa, Robert was born on January 21, 1936 in New York City. Son of Joseph E. and Rose A. (Mariconda) Venosa.
He studied with what are termed the New Masters. He first studied under Mati Klarwein in New New York
His artworks reside in collections around the world. Venosa then went on to study with Ernst Fuchs in Vienna. In the early 1970s he moved to Cadaques, Spain.
Here he met and befriended Salvador Dalí.
He later introduced H. R. Giger to Dalí. The technique is a derivative of what Venosa learned from his teachers.
His technique differs in the material used for the underpainting (caesin versus egg tempera) but largely follows the same processes. His death on August 9, 2011 was the end of an eight-year battle with cancer.
