Born in Milan, Italy, in 1941,
Vittorio Canta grew up
surrounded by the rich cultural history of his homeland. At an early
age, he demonstrated his innate talent for visual arts that was to
shape his future career in the field of graphic design. Following his
studies at Milan's renowned Accademia di Brera, Vittorio went on to
become a highly sought-after graphic designer in Italy's dynamic
advertising industry. In 1966, seeking new adventures and greater
challenges, he moved to Montreal where he began a long and successful
career creating, designing and producing visual communications for many
of Canada's leading corporations. In 2001, Vittorio settled down
in the picturesque town of Sutton, in Quebec's Eastern Townships.
Today, he devotes his full time to painting, hikes with his dog and
continues his love affair with the sport of bicycling, a passion
nurtured during his early youth. Defined as 'Divisionism', his art is a
synthesis of forms generating mnemonic connections that the mind of
each viewer can recognize and recompose. While escaping realism,
coloured segments present the essence of vibrating images that can be
reconstructed at will by any keen observer. Vittorio’s paintings are
calculated compositions that reach deep in the subconscious while
leaving plenty of latitude to interpretation.
