Biography
by: Carmine Funt
Anthony Diberardo is a canadian contemporary artist and was born on the 27th of October 1476, in Canada. He spent most of his early childhood ignoring others, choosing instead to visit "happy-land". He showed artistic potential early on, often cartooning for cigarettes.
At the age of 10 he won the prestigious Royal Award for Artistic Excellence*.
He went on to win several other awards in his teen years*.
He majored in Fine Art at the University of Guelph.
In the fall of 2002 he left on a wonderful journey to South East Asia where he contracted several of the more well known STD's. There was also a brief battle with some sort of skin fungus.
For a year he taught English and Art to "a great bunch of kids", about 700 a week or so. He recalls walking into the grade three classrooms where the students used to stand and cheer, "art class!". "That made me feel really good. It was then I knew the $40,000 I spent on my degree was really worth it."
After he had his fill of street noodles, dried fish snacks and vomiting children, he drank beer in Europe for a while.
He ended up teaching again to support his "habits". This time, however, it was to university students- all English, no art. It was good. They were "a great bunch of kids".
After getting kicked out of Poland he made his triumphant* return to Southern Ontario.
Asian and European influences can be seen in his work today: strange cartoon characters and the drab colours of the Eastern Bloc abound.
Oh yes, during this time, and without even entering, he won several prestigious international awards.*
Currently he is a canadian contemporary artist who displays his work on the web, www.artandboom.com, and at several art galleries.
