From the mid 60s to the early 1990s, Santo Bruno created and
exhibited his artwork internationally.
In 1990, in New York City, he developed Santo Bruno Fine Art. A private business buying, selling and restoring fine works of art. He maintained a low profile and operated a small gallery at 65th and Madison Ave.
For over a decade he has developed a private collection of art spanning the 15th century to the present.
He has advised individuals on potential purchases and he has loaned artwork to important merchants such as Tiffany Co. NY and Holzman Interiors in NY, NY and Westport Ct.
With his wife Angela he moved to Connecticut in 2000 and purchased and restored an important 18th century home which includes his studio.
He is actively creating a series of new artworks called Infusions.
Infusions is a progression and culmination of various points of focus. His last series titled Crossings invited the viewer to become interactive with the artwork.
This site is not a complete catalogue raisonne of his work; it is intended to provide a general scope of his work.
