MICHAEL MANDOLFO
is a visual artist based in Buffalo, New York. Perception is a common theme in his work.
Subjects may include one's individual perception,
as well as cultural perception both from within and outside one's culture. He enjoys discovering ways elements of culture are able to be expressed as a unifying force rather than a dividing one.
