Quattromini has produced 17 photo books of Jerusalem, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Galicia, Spain, NYC, NJ, & the USA. The photographer/ digital painter specializes in panoramas, cityscapes, landscape, architecture and ancient spiritual sites. His works often include local people’s traditions, portraiture and journalistic subjects. Quattromini meticulously creates his unique digital paintings, based exclusively on his original photographs.
Early influences on Quattromini’s creative development were his remarkably musically talented, self-taught father, a U.S. Army veteran Fire Dept. Captain and artistically gifted mother, a paralegal and Catechism teacher, and two neighbors. The first, photographer Artie Van Blarcum, was the subject of George Tice’s biography that includes a photo of Quattromini’s childhood home. The other was a ceramics painter named Jackie, with whom the young photographer and future artist began a weekly painting class for neighborhood children. Quattromini and Jackie were both born to Ashkenas Jewish mothers and raised Christian, Catholic and Presbyterian respectively, shaping the mixed experiential perspective evident in much of Quattromini’s works possessing deeply sacred meaning to the identity of entire peoples and to many people’s individual identity.
As an academically aspiring high school, Quattromini endured the tragic, sudden death of his beloved mother, followed by his grandmother’s consequent demise, triggered by heart trauma inflicted from the shock of suffering witnessing her youngest child’s death. In the aftermath of that life altering experience, upon returning from touring and photographing Spain, Quattromini was gifted the honor of administering the Holy Eucharist during the historic, televised Papal Mass given by Saint Pope John Paul II, in Giants Stadium, NJ, in 1995. He took Saint Peter’s University courses, while attending night and weekend rabbinic studies, followed by rabbinical college, in Jerusalem’s Old City, where the artist’s passion for learning about the history of human identity and his interest in photography converged, emerging as a calling, with the purpose of contributing to the generating of a critical mass of positive change, to foster, achieve and sustain peace, harmony in unity, wholeness, necessitating all peoples’ inclusion in the equal protection of their humanity’s dignity.
Quattromini has remained involved in organizations that provide him with the opportunity to learn, travel and volunteer, facilitating his devotion to improving as an artist and, most essentially, as a person of integral substance, as he defines only by being of service to others. That endeavor includes working for The Queen of Pop, through teaching in NYC after school programs pioneered by Madonna’s children's charity, beginning in 2007. The artist also has a special fondness for allowing fate to present him with the blessing of providing pilgrims free tours of the humble, Holy City of Jerusalem.

I’ll be adding many photographs, from my extensive archive, along with my completed digital photo painting versions of each. My original intent of promoting peace through understanding & inspiration, by sharing my images of Israel’s, Jerusalem’s & Monotheism’s 3000+ years of Jewish national identity, along with its 2 millennia of Christian religious presence, and the art & architecture from the past 1400 years of Muslim imperial rule over the region, has suddenly & shockingly become more poignant than I would ever want to imagine was possible. The negative consequence of feeling hatred towards others is feeling hatred within yourself, at all, making the hater the source of their own misery, because depriving others of peace becomes more important than anything else. My friend was murdered at the peace rave & I’m being targeted relentlessly, but I can only feel hurt & pity for those who choose to hate us, because I love them & think we all deserve to share in the magnificent blessings of life.
