About Artist:
Born in 1966 in Sagua la Grande, Cuba, Robert Finale fled the communist nation with his family at the tender age of two for a life of freedom and opportunity in the United States. These early struggles and adversity taught Finale the value of hard work and discipline at a very young age. Discovering his passion for art by the age of five, Finale was seldom without a pencil and sketchpad in hand, sketching everything from movie scenes to family vacation destinations. His mother lovingly cherished these early childhood sketches and encouraged Finale to keep and care for them, even throughout his early career as an electrician. It was many years later before Finale discovered his love, and natural talent, for brushing oil onto canvas. His very first painting was created as a gift for his wife Susie propelling Finale into the collected artist he is today. Hanging in homes and galleries around the world, Finale’s heartwarming paintings are captivating, the paint flowing effortlessly from this self-taught artist’s brush, capturing the intrinsic beauty in humankind and nature. His distinctive style is a colorful blend of impressionistic romance and realistic beauty transporting you to an enchanting world of pure and quiet delight. Finale enjoys exploring the complex interplay of light and its effects on architecture and its surroundings. He has no shortage of subject matter as an avid traveler, and uses his photographs, sketches and memories as the starting point for the inspiring journey in the creation of each masterpiece. Each painting, for Finale, is a journey of unspoken words and hidden whispers of freedom, nurturing the hopes and dreams in each of us. A quiet, gentle natured man, Robert Finale communicates through a rich vocabulary of brilliant colors and textures allowing him to tap into his own world and the fragile emotions that exist within us all. The infinite emotions that a person may feel upon examining a piece of art is the beauty of this communication in the universal language of art, giving the viewer a powerful tool to look within his own world for the understanding of life’s journey.

A beautiful original painting by the artist. This gorgeous painting of the monument located in Arlington, VA, at the National Cemetery, is of the flag raising of Mount Suribachi on the island of Iwo Jima during WWII. This is the United States Marine Corps War Memorial that was dedicated in 1954 to all the Marines who died in the defense of the United States since 1775. On the back of the painting itself, the artist drew the Eagle, Globe and Anchor which signifies the the Marine Corps emblem worn today by all Marines. The artist also inscribed, "Land of The Free 2015" which is the title of the painting. He also inscribed, "Tun Tavern Philadelphia, PA 10 Nov. 1775" which is where and when the US Marine Corps was first established, known as the "birthplace" of the Marine Corps. Robert Finale also wrote in the Latin words, "Semper Fidelis" which is the English meaning for "Always Faithful", which is the Marine Corps motto... "Always Faithful in God, Country and Corps."
