MARK GUGLIELMO (b. 1970, Queens, New York) is a contemporary artist based in Western Massachusetts who creates layered figurative paintings exploring themes of identity, migration, and power. Guglielmo’s practice connects with his background in hip-hop, treating collage as an extension of sampling—truncating and reconfiguring existing materials into new compositions.

Major projects include Portraits of My People (2021-2025), life-size collage portraits honoring his Southern Italian lineage while examining the complexities of race and belonging in the United States, and Cubaneo (2015-2017), his series of 18 large-scale photo-collage portraits of everyday people he met on three trips to Cuba.

Solo exhibitions include the United Nations, New York; Loveland Museum, Colorado; Villa Victoria Center for the Arts, Boston; and Vermont Center for Photography. Group exhibitions include New York State Museum, Westfield State University, and Central Connecticut State University. Guglielmo is the recipient of grants from The Puffin Foundation and Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts, and residencies including Sound+Science NYC and 701 Center for Contemporary Art.

As rapper/producer Vesuveo, he collaborated with Eminem on "Green and Gold" and contributed music to Beavis and Butt-Head, Pimp My Ride, and Jersey Shore. He studied at the Université de Paul Valéry in Montpellier, France, and holds a BA in History from Haverford College.
