Michael Biondo
Michael Biondo was born in Buffalo, NY, grew up a Bills fan, and has resided in Sarasota, FL, for the past decade. After earning a minor in art history and a BFA at Villa Maria College and the State University of New York at Buffalo, concentrating in painting and graphic design, he was led to a successful career path as a professional artist who travels to various cities to paint murals and create custom visual work for clients in need of compelling art.
"While I often focus on realistic, pop-culture-inspired portraiture, my overarching goal is to produce artwork that inspiresâcrafted with the highest level of skill, dedication, and efficiency. I value maintaining strong, positive relationships throughout every project, both personal and professional."
The Face of Buffalo, 2026
Acrylic on handmade canvas and wooden frame
Buffalo is shaped by the many qualities and symbols that deïŹne its identity. Hidden visual elements throughout the artwork come together to form the Face of Buffalo. A few of the elements include the "Queen City" skyline, Buffalo's famous chicken wings, and the Flag of Buffalo, featuring a lighthouse and boat. A football texture of the left horn and player represent the sport. The Buffalo Central Terminal is below a portrait of William "Buffalo Bill" Cody, and the famous"Buffalo" sign from the theatre district. A reïŹection of the "Peace Bridge" on the right horn highlights the sleeping lion statue, the beauty of Niagara Falls, and fandom of Bills MaïŹa.
Thank you to every single person that has ever supported, believed, inspired, and encouraged me. Thank you to the Buffalo Bills, the city of Buffalo, everyone involved with the art selection process at Highmark Stadium. We achieved this dream together. Endless love & respect to all.
