Beauty Color Movement. Second To None.
"Creating a painting isn't just a job. Its my way of life. There is no middle ground. Its all or nothing. Every stroke counts. If a scene or idea resonates within me, Im in, totally passionately and fully invested. If it doesn't, I just dont paint it. I believe when you paint with real passion and dedication, you can feel the heart and soul of the painting" - Fil Mottola
Fil Mottola was wounded in World War II while oversees in the Guadacanal, so he began painting abstracts. Fils entire career was focused on creating paintings for the most well known celebrities, presidents, and CEOs like President Reagan, Lucille Ball, Bill Marriot, Glenn Bell, Joy Morton, and even Olympics commissioner Avery Brundage 1936
Despite being introduced to the evils of War and terror, Fil remained optimistic, valued Faith, Family, and His Art above all. Fil and His wife Lottie owned a gallery in Laguna Beach, CA on the Pacific Coast Highway. If you're in the area you're guaranteed to see the beautiful sceneries that Fil got famous for.
Fil Mottolas Career at Walt Disney Studios
