Through a series of essays and interviews as well as excerpts from diaries, Painting Moments tells the true-life story of Nick Palazzo, a young Montreal painter who died of AIDS-related complications but not before fulfilling his artistic dreams -- and leaving behind an immense body of work.
Though he was young, poor and often ill, Nick Palazzo completed over two thousand paintings before his death at age thirty. This virtual unknown, beset by AIDS, shunned and abandoned (as such people often are), created a significant body of work of lasting value. This is Nick's story. And triumph.
