Official website of artist Michael Pilato

Murals by the renowned artist, Michael Pilato, adorn buildings along the byways of State College, Pennsylvania, the home of the Pennsylvania State University. His works attract the attention of thousands of visitors annually, as well as local residents and business owners. But, inspiration comes most to Michael from the mouths of the children whose worlds are enlarged and enriched by the content, color and collage of the scenes depicted in Michael's monumental murals.

Michael's artistic training is not reserved to merely painting a pretty picture for others to enjoy, or to brightening an otherwise dreary street. He is a teacher both through the artistic presentation and in the public arena as well as an advisory consultant to many aspiring artists and organizations. Michael's murals intentionally involve a connection from mural to mural, people to mural, and people to people. He introduces his philosophy, his perspective of the surroundings and his vast array of experiences with true situations, people, and places. From the beginning of each project he involves his clients in the mural's conceptual development and design assuring that his ideas and ideals of community spirit are consistent with theirs. Likewise throughout the mural's growth and maturation, he continually communicates his passion for and moral beliefs in the above mutually accepted and understood ideas and ideals.
