His trademark romantic style caught the attention of major publishers like Simon & Shuster and Harlequin, and Pino eventually became one of the highest-paid book illustrators of his generation. In the 1990s, Pino began feeling stifled by the publishing industry's strict deadlines and transitioned into pursuing a more traditional career in painting. The loose brushstrokes and feminine women in Pino's oil paintings are evocative of the romance novel covers that made him famous. Authentication and Valuation Appraisal report available.
