Gerard Di-Maccio is an 83-year-old artist born in Algeria. He began drawing when he was very young, and thankfully, his parents supported his talent. His grandfather was his first admirer who motivated him by hanging his first painting in his shop window.
Soon the Di-Maccio family left their home in Algeria and moved to Paris so that Gerard could study from the best. In 1965 he started teaching at the Beaux-Arts Academy in Paris. He is also known as the artist who made the biggest oil painting in the world. It is 9 meters tall and 27 meters long, which equals the size of a blue whale or three busses in a row.
