Florentino Garguilo, Author & Artist, is best described by his name alone; unique, dynamic, and unafraid to challenge the norm. His passion for creativity can be traced to middle school when he finally had the license to embrace his creative side. Today, he treats every aspect of his life as art. From the paint on his canvas and the words on his page, to the care in his cooking, lawn care, and professional endeavors, Florentino strives to make everything he does worthy of being called a masterpiece.
Florentino specializes in acrylic art, digital art, music composition, short films, and writing.
His work often explores themes such as the world’s deeper realities, the pride he takes in his Italian-American heritage, the intersection of subjectivity and objectivity, and the true definition of “art.”
Florentino is also the founder and owner of “Creative Café,” which was created to further spread the love of creativity on a community level, and the host of the podcast ‘La Vita’, which uses his background in psychology and coaching to empower people.
When not immersed in his creative process, Florentino is dedicated in his professional field. He can also be found listening to (almost) every type of music, getting his hands dirty on an outdoor project, lining up his suits and bold outfits, volunteering at local food banks and community organizations, and (his favorite) spending time with his family.
