Vincent Fantauzzo is known as one of Australia's most prominent artists having won the Archibald People's Choice Award more than any other artist. 

Vincent grew up in Melbourne, where his childhood was marred by learning difficulties, leading him to drop out of school. He managed to enrol in RMIT under false pretences, and it is here that he was finally diagnosed with dyslexia. 

Despite these challenges, Vincent graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting, completing his Masters in Fine Arts.

"Every time I paint a portrait, it's a collaboration, there is a moment when something lights up - you feel it going through your body."

Vincent is also known for his paintings of famous Australian faces. The likes of which include Heath Ledger, Hugh Jackman, Aboriginal Australian human rights and social justice campaigner, Professor Tom Calma AO FAA FASSA, chef Matt Moran, former Prime Minister Julia Gillard, actor and Vincent’s wife, Asher Keddie. 

The Australian painter has achieved international acclaim with works exhibited across the globe — in New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and India.
