🎨 Featured Artist- Alex Ranniello – April 2026
This April, we welcome Connecticut painter Alex Ranniello to the walls of Klekolo World Coffee.
Alex’s work is bold, colorful, and full of life. His portraits and figurative paintings bring movement and energy into the room. The colors feel bright and expressive — a perfect match for spring.
Based in Bloomfield, Connecticut, Alex works in oil, acrylic, pastel, and mixed media. His paintings often reflect warmth, summer light, and the simple joy of being human.
Alex studied Painting and Drawing at the Hartford Art School and has exhibited throughout Connecticut. Along the way, he has created public murals, solo exhibitions, and group shows — always with a focus on making art that feels accessible and alive.
Stop in throughout April and spend some time with the work.
Like good coffee, these pieces invite you to slow down and look a little closer.
