Biography
The first of four sons born to Erma and Peter Raimondi, John Raimondi was born in May 1948. John Raimondi spent his early years honing his skills while developing an eye for the beauty of nature that surrounded him. The young artist spent much of his time in the company of his family, though he also enjoyed the solitude of drawing and painting, as well as collecting coins and building model airplanes.
In his formative years, Raimondi became fascinated by scale-model automobiles and airplanes, which later translated into full-size "
hot rods
Hot rods are typically American cars that might be old, classic, or modern and that have been rebuilt or modified with large engines optimised for speed and acceleration. One definition is: "a car that's been stripped down, souped up and made ...
" as he grew into a teenager. These hobbies proved invaluable in the artist's keen ability to comprehend scale and movement—two of the elements that are so essential in his work today.
Originally intending to become a seascape painter, Raimondi first attended
Vesper George School of Art and subsequently attended the Portland School of Fine and Applied Arts in

Raimondi had been contacted by the real estate tycoon to create versions of two of his extant sculptures as part of a percent for art

If Olenicoff had followed through with commissioning the works, Raimondi would have made $250,000 for each of the four proposed pieces. In 2010, Raimondi was informed that sculptures that originally had been submitted to the city of Brea, California
