About the Item

Cordell Cordaro is a multidisciplinary artist, filmmaker, and publisher based in Rochester, NY. Known for his swanky, expressive portraits and whimsical scenes, Cordaro’s work defies classical ideals of beauty in favor of something more emotionally true and human. His figures—both elegant and idiosyncratic—inhabit a world of their own, where charm and distortion exist side by side to reveal the inner longings and quiet defiance behind the outward pose. His artwork spans painting, ink, and mixed media, and has found collectors across the U.S. and internationally in the UK, Singapore, Greece, Spain, and Canada. From solo booths in New York and Florida to packed shows in his hometown, Cordaro’s style is instantly recognizable: stylized, layered, mythic, and cinematic—sometimes like a frame out of Casablanca, sometimes like a fairy tale on the edge of unraveling. collaborated with the Rochester City Ballet on set and costume design, video work, and visual storytelling. This cross-medium approach to creativity—visual art, film, performance, and publishing—reflects a restless, driving energy behind all of his projects. Cordell Cordaro continues to challenge aesthetic conventions while building community through art. He approaches art as a way of working through ideas that don’t always translate into words.
