He has attained an inner peace that makes him a delight to be near. Dick believes, I allow my life to consume my art, rather than let my art consume me."

I feed it and it feeds me." Contino is intimate. He presents himself with a feeling of moment to moment spontaneity . Although best known for his million sellers such as Lady of Spain, Granada and Tico Tico, he is equally at ease with current show material.
