Sergio Roffo

Sergio Roffo has been inspired by the work of American traditional painters such as Inness, Fitz Henry Lane & Albert Bierstadt, among others. Roffo's representations of coastal landscapes reveal a luminous, masterful feeling. As you view his art, you will discover a precise sense of value and atmospheric perspective that conveys a relaxed sense of calmness; a characteristic that defines and informs all of his works. Sergio Roffo's captivating depictions of the New England landscape have been included in a variety of museum exhibitions. Mr. Roffo’s coastal landscapes are inspired from painting in “Pleinair”, on location. Sergio’s work is widely collected and has received many awards. He holds the honor of being one of the youngest artists to be designated a “Copley Master” by the Copley Society of Boston. An elected “Fellows” member of the American Society of Marine Artists, an elected member of the Guild of Boston Artists and an elected “Living Master” by the Art Renewal Center, ( ARC ). Sergio's work is included in many private and publicly owned collections and is an elected member of the Salmagundi Club in NYC.

The youngest of six children, Sergio was born in San Donato Italy. His family immigrated to Boston where sometime after high school he attended Vesper George School of Art in Boston, majoring in Fine Arts and Illustration. After graduation Mr. Roffo freelanced as an illustrator for some time and became very successful after acquiring an agent in NYC. The demands of illustration took it's toll on Sergio and eventually he turned to fine art, studying under the Boston School painters, Robert Douglas Hunter and Robert Cormier where Mr. Roffo honed in on his traditional drawing and landscape techniques.
