Eddie Barbini is an American painter whose work focuses on the landscape and figurative subjects. He works primarily in oils, creating pieces that reflect his deep curiosity about the complexities and beauty of life.

Barbini’s paintings have been shown at galleries such as Bird Dog Arts, Plein Air, Gary Cort Gallery, Brea Gallery, and Laguna Art Museum. His work is celebrated by collectors worldwide for its rich textures, emotive compositions, and unique approach to both the landscape and the human figure.

Before becoming a painter, Barbini spent thousands of hours producing documentary television, where he focused on blue-collar life and law enforcement, offering intimate glimpses into the lives of ordinary people. His transition from the small screen to the canvas was a natural progression of his desire to explore the personal narratives that shape our world, capturing moments of vulnerability, strength, and transformation through his art.

He has been recognized in the film industry with three Emmy nominations and an Academy Award. Though his subject matter has evolved from television to fine art, his focus on the deeper layers of human life remains a constant, whether through the lens of documentary filmmaking or the brush of an artist.
