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.
