I had a great experience working with Arturo when I commissioned a large piece of custom modern and abstract art. He listened carefully to my vision in terms of colors and style. From there, he took over with his keen sense of creativity. The end result is more spectacular than I could have imagined and will be the focal point of my new home. In fact, I loved Arturo’s work so much, I asked him to do an abstract diptych for another room in my house and I’m equally thrilled with the results.

Arturo is an incredible artist and teacher, with a broad range of talent from abstract to hyper-realism. He is very patient and spends time with each student to help them accomplish their unique artistic goals. I highly recommend trying a class! Or if you are an art collector check out his amazing paintings.

We could not be more happy with our beautiful painting and exquisite framing. We have received many many compliments but, most importantly, it brings us great joy:

These lessons with Arturo were my first art lessons!! He set me up with all the supplies I needed to start working & was always around for any help that I needed. The studio was bright & the other students, although at a much higher level than I was, were very nice to me as was Arturo. I hope to return next year.

Arturo is the best!!! If you want to learn at your own pace and with your own ideas, he’s your guy. He teaches at a pace you can absorb and can help people of varying skill levels and styles. Very versatile. Fun. And, a really nice guy!!??????

As My Girlfriend and I stopped by one day, we were not only impressed with the works of art throughout but your teaching studio was just as impressive. If I wasn’t born with ten thumbs, I’d consider giving it a go…Bravo ??

Visiting Studio Samaniego is a “must-do” experience in the Naples Art District! When you enter the bright studio you are surrounded by Arturo’s bold abstracts. Cool and eclectic chairs are positioned in the middle of the gallery for you to sit down and enjoy his artwork. There is also a large, organized art room located in the back of the studio offering classes for all levels in oil painting. This studio has it all!

Captivating, original art pieces at very reasonable price points. Samaniego Art is a must see in the Naples Art district. We had a newly renovated home full of large, blank walls and were searching for some unique, big, bold art. Many of those walls are now occupied by conversation pieces. In addition to having great artistic ability across a range of different art styles, Arturo Samaniego is pleasure to work with. Need something uniquely, specific for your home - he'll work with you to create it.

My husband & I were so fortunate to find Arturo’s studio via his wife Barb. We fell in love with his work, both the contemporary pieces and his modern abstracts. We purchased a beautiful large format original piece for our entrance way. We knew it would be a stunning piece in our home. We consistently get compliments on Arturo’s work of art! Looking forward to adding pieces to our collection.

I rediscovered my art during covid and was thrilled to learn about Arturo's small class offerings in his chic and contemporary art studio. His classes are limited in size which offers every student his attention and guidance. His personality and teaching style is warm and welcoming and he generously shares his skills and talents to help his students become more confident in our own unique style. I've created some amazing paintings that I never would've been able to create on my own. I actually sold one of them! Im having a blast and love my Thursdays in the studio!

Arturo is an incredibly gifted artist, and his gallery showcases his talent in a chic setting. I would highly recommend a viewing; you will be blown away by his body of work. Arturo is currently presenting his exceptional abstract and contemporary art in acrylics although those are not the only options - he has some stunning realistic oil paintings that are currently not on display but available to view. Arturo also offers painting classes. I am enjoying those immensely. Arturo meets you and your talent where you are at and helps you cultivate your strengths from that point on. The classes have been incredibly rewarding and I have seen my body of work steadily improve with each week. I have learnt so much. He mentors no more than 10 students at each class and thus is available to divide his attention between all. Arturo's energy and charming personality make the classes a true delight and are the highlight of my week! Arturo seems to attract the most pleasant and upbeat students - the atmosphere in classes is very uplifting and fun, as each of us work away at honing our art under Arturo's guidance. A true joy and privilege to be mentored by an exceptional and highly acclaimed artist with a warm, exuberant and inclusive persona.

I have been taking classes with Aurturo for a few months now and I LOVE my classes.The Studio is well organized, the participants are friendly, and Aurturo is a FANTASTIC teacher.Arturo is kind and funny and able to teach with such humor that even a new painter like me dose notfeel intimidated or self conscious.Great music and coffee, and sometimes sinful goodies. Couldn't ask for a more enjoyable and rewarding class. Thanks Aurturo !!!!!!!
