Renato Rampolla is an American lens-based artist whose work explores presence, loss, and the tension between what is shown and what is withheld. His images invite slow looking and attend to the experience of seeing and being seen.

His work has been exhibited nationally in museums and galleries including Soho Photo Gallery in New York City; the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, Massachusetts; the Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art in Tarpon Springs, Florida; the Museum of Art in DeLand, Florida; Praxis Photo Arts Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota; the SE Center for Photography in Greenville, South Carolina; and the George A. Spiva Center for the Arts in Joplin, Missouri.

His photobook Dignity No Matter What: The Light Within was juried into the 12th Annual Photobook Show at Davis Orton Gallery in Hudson, New York, and later exhibited at the Griffin Museum of Photography. He is a two-time recipient of the Professional Development for Artists Grant from the Arts Council of Hillsborough County, Florida.
