Painter and printmaker
Biographie de Canuto Kallan
In Canuto Kallan’s works, the joy of creation comes to life through his spontaneity, imagination, and the free and improvisational way in which he handles the medium. His experimentations with colour and the way he feverishly applies it results in an intensity that extends far beyond the paintings’ surface. The simplicity of his figures lends them liveliness and a rhythm which excites the viewers’ eyes into a constant state of alertness and keeps their interest intact
