Quotes and testimonies:
 
"Bravo Venosa! Dali is pleased to see spiritual madness
    painted with such a fine technique."
                                                                Salvador Dali

“Robert Venosa's art truly captures the imprint of a spiritual
force; each painting is so alive, seeming to breathe, pulsate
and stare back at you, challenging the viewer to also reach
their highest potential"
                                                             Carlos Santana
