Richard Angelo Runfola

You will never find beauty if you don't open the door to uncertainty and explore. Finding the right balance of chaos and order is what I aim to do with my art. Working with resin and ink is incredibly unpredictable free form and flowing, but there also exists a clear element of control. It is provocative in the sense that amazingly; every single person sees something different within its intentional ambiguity. Most people call me Ricky, but as a painter I go by my full name, Richard Angelo Runfola. I was born and raised in Buffalo, New York. After receiving my Bachelors of Arts in Architectural Studies from Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, New York, I decided to return to my home town for graduate school. I am embarking on the 3.5 year Masters in Architecture program at the University at Buffalo in the department of Architecture and Planning. I hope to one day pursue licensure. In the mean time, I am continuing to create fine art creations while I grow my business. Warm Regards, Richard Angelo Runfola
