Beautiful racing artwork by artist Hector Cademartori. All are Limited Edition Prints signed by the artist.
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where Juan Manuel Fangio is a household name, Hector Cademartori took an early interest in racing. Influenced by the European tradition and names like Dan Gurney, Jackie Stewart, Pedro Rodriquez, Graham Hill, and John Surtees, Cademartori began creating art based on the stories, accounts, and photos of racing days gone by.
With half of the population of Argentina being of Italian origin, Ferrari was a natural subject to start drawing. Racing scenes with Lotuses, BRMs, Matras, and Ferraris came out of note pads much to the delight of Cademartori's schoolmates. His high school teacher, however, had a different take on his drawing racing cars and motorcycles instead of paying attention to his studies.
In time, he learned to appreciate the history of racing; the 30's, the 50's, and the romance of those years which lend themselves to beautiful art.
After graduating high school, Cademartori moved to the US and began to specialize in motor racing art. He also began selling illustrations and paintings to racing teams, corporations, magazines, and private parties. Cademartori's art can be found in and on Dan Gurney's All American Racers offices, Indianapolis 500 Yearbook covers, Laguna Seca Raceway, California Speedway, the Carrera Panamericana posters, NHRA offices, foreign and domestic automobile and motorcycle magazines, motorcycle manufacturers offices, and many other places.
Hector Cademartori resides in La Verne, California with his wife, Florencia, and three children; Eduardo, Florencia, and Mercedes.
