Emilio Florentine

Corey has been painting on the streets creating his vivid and beautiful murals for more than a decade under the moniker “Emilio Florentine”. His paintings are based on the belief that natural beauty is heightened during chaos. By using impressionist and surrealist techniques, he exploits, tortures, and then paints his subject - the flower - at its tipping point. With a BFA from the School of Visual Arts, NYC, Emilio’s involvement in the arts stretches back to when he was 4 years old, and intuitively realized that people enjoyed the things he drew. This immensely positive feeling gave him the confidence to pursue art as a career. Emilio Florentine’s murals can be seen from Puerto Rico to Los Angeles to NYC and Jersey City.
