Brian Borrello

(American, born 1958)

Brian Borrello is an artist, designer, and educator based in Portland, Oregon. He is interested in creating an awareness of human life in balance with other life forms and our shared environment. His artworks often magnify and express growth patterns and biological organization. In his own words, “The hidden algorithms of life’s patterns are revealed in a twig, or the solar-optimized silhouette of a leaf… My work expresses the awesome presence of life on earth, especially in the minute and often overlooked existences among us.”

Borrello grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana. He earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from Arizona State University, with post-graduate work in architectural engineering.
