power of painting and started creating works of
art that belied his age. Embracing his creative
side with the encouragement of by his
parents and teachers Developing his talent
during his formative years, Armand's paintings
found their way into the halls of respected
museums and institutions before he reached his
eighteenth birthday.

creative and expressive from a pool of 6,000
other young artists. This first great
achievement was recognized by the governor of
the State of New Jersey as well as Nancy Reagan,
first lady of the United States at the time.
Encouraged like never before, Armand expanded
his artistic expression which led to other
awards and accolades in recognition of his
talent.
Entering college, Armand's artistic spirit
was channeled into another creative form;
architecture. Graduating from the
prestigious New Jersey Institute for Technology
with a Bachelors of Science, Armand quickly set
his sights on architecture's logical
progression; real estate.
Calling upon his artistic acumen for design,
aesthetics and symmetry, Armand was quickly
propelled into the millionaire's club in real
estate circles through a series of property
acquisitions, development and sale of same.
Infected with the entrepreneur's bug, Armand
turned his attention to other exciting elements
where a fusion of art with reality takes place;
NYC nightlife.
Starting out as a night club owner he
immediately identified a niche market that was
drastically underserved; entertainment for
women.
All of Armand's knowledge and life experience
converged on his latest project. His
award-winning experience as a bodybuilder
coupled with his years of creative expression on
the canvass merged with his ever-developing
business acumen led him to create Hunk-o-Mania;
one of the United States' most popular and
successful male revue.
Turning his sights back on his first love,
Armand is returning to the art world full force
with new vigor and spirit. |
