For close to four decades Rick Muto has built his career as a muralist, decorative painter and fine artist located in Rochester, New York. His work can be found gracing the interiors of prominent homes, businesses and institutions throughout Upstate New York, as well as other metropolitan areas including New York City, Washington D.C. and Palm Beach, Florida.
As Rick developed his career applying his skills to embellishing homes with painted decoration, he continued to apply himself as an easel painter focusing on both landscape and figurative paintings
Rick’s work bridges decorative and fine art through a significant number and variety of murals employing architectural tromp l’oeil, landscape, still life, figurative and narrative genres. His ability to work with clients to bring ideas to a concrete visual statement, combined with his uncompromising attention to detail, has contributed to his growing reputation and continued success in the field of decorative art.
He has brought those same qualities and concerns to his work as a fine artist. His continued study of the landscape, and the human figure over four decades, has informed both his larger studio paintings as well as his murals.
