Roberto Rizzo's rock paintings are like an updated version of the old pet-rock trend. In 1996 Rizzo started using acrylic paint to capture animal images that curve organically around the natural shape and imperfection of the stone surface used in place of canvas. The images are sweet and humorous, and like a pet or a rock, they beckon to be held.

I absolutely LOVE your works. I have cats and adore all animals but you have caught the individual characters of each cat – you are truly wonderful – keep sharing your talent with the world, and me in particular. Well done. Bellissimo??? Ellen
I was surfing the net looking for inspiration as I paint stones myself. Loved your painted stones, I hope one day mine will be as good as yours. (Should I live so long). Best wishes.
