You don’t need a degree in fine art to surround yourself with beautiful, meaningful and authentic gallery fine ARTWORKS that grow in value over time. Robert is a survivor of CSA and his art has always been a matter of what he calls surTHRIVAL.

“I have made it my mission to share my surTHRIVAL story through my painting, writing, theatre, music and teaching. When an artist appears to leave his ‘lane’ it can sometimes baffle his followers. But for me, music, theatre and the visual arts are all derived from the same creative fount.” rm

Testimonials
Absolutely Dug His Style
I met Rob Maniscalco first when his paintings were featured at a local gallery in West Ashley and absolutely dug his style. At the same time both realistic and surreal in a way I cannot quite beg, his paintings breathe life that isn’t exactly life. Like the impressionistic ghost of an image with colors more popping than the eye perceives, that’s his art. On top of that, he’s involved with some really cool projects and is all around a great guy. Whenever I see him, he’s been incredibly kind and funny and a bit goofy. He supports arts in Charleston 100%, so I find that very cool. He’s interested not only with sharing his work but uplifting the artistic visions/voices of others. I dig that. That being said, my favorite work is his portraits. Something he captures in the human expression speaks to me.

What an amazing portrait! Bravo! ... See MoreSee Less
Barack and I were so honored to have @NjidekaAkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!
