If I had a choice, I would be surrounded by an autumn day immediately followed by a summer night.
Nothing is as lusty as a summer night or as romantically sad as an autumn day.
Since I can't have that, what I do is paint what my world is about at the time. This ambition having been realized, was short lived due to an injury. Fortunately, at the age of 14 Luongo had entered The Academy Of Fine Arts and subsequently received his degree. Luongo began to paint professionally at the age of 27 while on a trip to Italy, creating 30 originals later displayed in his first one-man show in Los Angeles. Luongo's paintings are a unique blend of the sensual with the cerebral, thus they appeal to a broad audience.
