Lido Artist Resume

September 2009

Victor L. Lido

Email: [email protected] As an engineer and computer scientist I have lived a life of logic and calculation. Now, in semi-retirement, I float between that world and my newly discovered world of art. My art instructors have shown me how to see with an artist’s eye and taught me the ‘tools’ of the trade. To my surprise it’s all about rule of composition, analysis of value and color and seeing what is in front of my eyes with understanding – art or science? Now I am ready for my first solo show “Passion for Portraits.” Bachelor of Engineering, Master of Management Science – Stevens Institute of Technology. Studied under Scott Nickerson, Robert Glaisek, Nicki Orbach, Daniel Dugan and Paulette Coche at workshops and private tutoring sessions to develop traditional skills in gestural, contour and volumetric drawing.
