He studied under the great seascape painter Cavalier Michele Federico. His skillful portrayal of light and color brings the awesome beauty of the Italian coast to life. His ability to capture the movement of crashing waves upon the rocky shoreline of Capri is entrancing, true mastery at work. This painting is transcendently dramatic, perfectly creating a captivating image of the Southern Italian rocky shoreline endlessly beaten by the sea.

Odierna had over 35 solo exhibitions during his career –spanning 40 years–including in Rome, Milan, Turin, Genoa, Biella, Vercelli, Catania, and Trieste.
