Bernard Damiano is an Italian visual artist who was active and lived in Italy and France and known for portrait, still life, figure painting. Although he was making connections with other artists such as Sylvain Vigny, Damiano does not really begin to expose his work until 1960. From then until 1965, he participated in a number of exposures along coastal France. In 1966 Damiano finally moved with his family to Paris. He would typically paint in oil on canvas, but was known to paint with tempera paint from time to time. His paintings are generally of an Expressionistic nature, featuring distorted faces of people, particularly of himself.
