Aranacci has been exposed at Artropolis, One of a Kind and galleries throughout the United States. Many of his pieces are now possessed by commercial companies. He started many years ago painting one dimensional pieces then moved to convex canvas, three dimensional art, vitreography(1 ) and his most current work is vintage marquee art. For the last five years he has worked solely on marquees. This new chapter as an artist has created an explosion of passion within him and his life. "Making the same pieces over and over is not art, it is just work. It's about the inspiration and synergy with the project and the client. Creating vintage marquee art is like the anticipation you have at the prelude of a dance but you cannot rush it and you have to be ready to be ready," he says. In Aranacci's earlier days creating and painting in one dimension was different, he didn't have the multi-layers and dimension that this new era has brought about and it's really got his creative juices flowing! When creating every piece of work (which he still calls a canvas) there is so much thought and inspiration that goes into each piece which can be very challenging. Aranacci's creativity flourishes from him as he creates every piece to be bigger and better then the last. It sometimes takes days or weeks to get started in the process of designing a piece. Each piece must appear to have been from the 40's-60's which is a process in itself and requires lighting, texture and applying the ferocity of weathering onto it. As he is in the process of building the piece, which has already been created as a three dimensional piece in his mind, he sometimes must set the piece aside as a teaser for his creativity. Even though he has a vision in his mind the creativity never ends and he continues to think about how to enhance the piece and what it will look like at the end. Each piece is unique! No two pieces are exactly the same which is the beauty of his work. The final stage is the epilog of Aranacci. When the walls are up and the bulbs are in like in any of his projects the end result is absolutely amazing! When the lights finally go on, it's like saying, "ACTION!" and there is no denying that another amazing piece of art has been created by Aranacci. 1 Vitreography is a process of drawing and painting on multiple levels of glass.

Makes vintage marquee art with symbols,logos and letters. Aranacci Biography and his Inspirations
Aranacci began his love for art as a child. He grew up in Lima, Peru and was an only child for many years. He spent much of his time playing by himself which in turn ignited his creativity. He loved using his hands and his imagination to create and build things. His mother played a key role in encouraging him to do what he loves and that is “create”. His favorite artists are Alberto Vargas, Mario Testino and Julia Codesido. Aranacci has done several shows which include Artropolis, One of a Kind, Art Attack and many others.
Aranacci is an artist of many facets. He paints, sketches, creates vitreography and vintage marquee art . What he creates for his clients is truly art and no two pieces are alike. He finds it extremely important as an artist to listen to what the client wants and to offer his creative ideas to make a piece that his client will cherish for a lifetime. He currently resides in Union Pier, Michigan.
Aranacci - loves to transform what he's thinking and feeling into his art through not only painting and artifacts but all forms of medium. He believes that painting is a gift and experience transformed into expressions of color and texture. He doesn't believe in "art schools" or conventional schools of thought. He believes "A piece of art should uphold itself rather than wait for interpretation". For him, for a creation of a masterpiece everything is valid and there is not wrong in doing it and expressing the abundance of the final outcome. He understands that sometimes art can be controversial and shocking but still it is the nature of art.
He grew up in a middle class home as an only child for almost nine years. He spent most of his childhood alone and playing using his imagination to cope with his solitude. While creating toys he used his imagination, creativity and drawing to perfect them. One late afternoon on a weekend his father took him into a plaza where people were gathering around someone. As his father made his way through the crowd he discovered that someone was in the process of creating something. He could not understand what the man was doing with his dirty hands as he gracefully expressed himself. He asked his father what that man was doing. His father looked at him and responded "he is an artist, he is a painter!". As the months went by he could not forget that experience and started using the weekend newspapers that his father graciously bought him. He started his experimentation using silly putty that an aunt got for him on one of her trips to the states. With the ball he started copying photos from the old newspapers and combining frames, stretching, cutting and creating new views. Still he did not accomplish what he really wanted. His creations were short lived but his ambition was not. Aranacci knew that his next step was to paint like in the big leagues, "to be an artist". He quickly got a hold of some oil color and a big bottle of mimeograph ink. He was not going to be satisfied painting on cardboard so he asked his mother if she had any white material that he could paint on. She left the room and came back with an old white sheet. She tore it in front of him. That was his first canvas and his first painting! A memory he will never forget!
