Enrico Embroli

Enrico Embroli is a mixed media artist born in the small Western New York town of Batavia. He later graduated from the University of New York in Buffalo with a Bachelors and Masters of Art Education.

Embroli’s work has been in private collections and exhibited in galleries all over the world. In his later life, he moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he currently resides.

American artist Enrico Embroli speaks to us from his rich surfaces, regardless of medium, in the language of form and texture. It is the surface that makes his distinct signature. Embroli is a complete artist, he is a painter and a sculptor and works in a varied array of mediums. Born, raised, and educated in Western New York, he earned his Bachelor's and Master's degree in Art Education at State University of New York, at Buffalo. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including Seattle, Chicago, Naples, Miami, Geneva, Italy, and Toronto. His corporate collections include Ford, Gannett, Humana, Pennzoil, Swiss Bank of North America (Chicago), Trammel Crow, Westinghouse, and Xerox.
