Louis Giordano

I’m an artist living and working in Scottsdale, Arizona. I create original paintings, limited-edition silkscreen and digital prints inspired by my photography, and the interaction of people and the world around me.

My work brings together elements of retro design, pop art, and mid-century modern aesthetics. From distinctive architecture and vintage signs to Southwest plants, familiar places, and portraits, I explore subjects that invite a personal connection.

I’ve shared my work through galleries, arts organizations, and exhibitions across the Phoenix area, including:

• Xico Inc., , Phoenix, AZ

• First Studio, Phoenix, AZ

• Five 15 Gallery, Phoenix, AZ

• Found:RE Gallery, Phoenix, AZ

• Mesa Arts Center. Mesa, AZ

• Inglorious Arizona Exhibition

• The Gallery Glendale at Westgate, Glendale, AZ

My Story & Artistic Influences

I’ve wanted to be an artist since I was four years old. Although creativity came naturally to me, I’ve always been drawn to the technical skills behind making art. Over the years, I’ve studied with and learned from talented fine artists, including professors whose guidance continues to influence my work.

Born in New Jersey, I moved to Scottsdale at the age of 10 and later earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts at Arizona State University. My experiences in both places helped shape how I see architecture, design, and the landscape.

 The contrast between Manhattan’s vertical skyline and the broad, horizontal landscape of the Desert Southwest remains an important influence. I find inspiration in the Empire State Building, the desert architecture of Taliesin West, and the mid-century modern buildings and design that surrounded me growing up.

My Art Style & Creative Approach

My art reflects my optimism, curiosity, and strong sense of self. I enjoy exploring how color, subject matter, and technique can evoke different emotions—and how the same print can mean something entirely different to each person who sees it.

Integrating photography, painting along with traditional and digital printmaking allows me to combine techniques with my own approach. Rather than limit myself to one style or method, I follow the needs of each piece, experimenting with inks, acrylics, and printing materials to achieve the result I envision.

Color plays a central role in that process. I consider how colors interact, establish a mood, and influence the way a viewer experiences the finished artwork.
