Rosa Canto
(Spanish b. 1968)
On July 11, 1968, Rosa Canto
was born in Alcoy, Alicante, Spain. Her artistic studies began at the
Fine
Arts School in Alcoy. Later
she continued her education in Valencia at the San Carlos Fine Arts
University.
Through hard work she has
achieved merited success. Her favored subjects are landscapes, which she
shapes on her canvases,
infusing them with the great flavor and character of her native country.
Forgetting
the romanticism often seen,
she looks for the nature and realism in hersubjects. She takes a visual
picture of fields full of brilliantly colored flowersor serene Spanish
villages.
Her goal is to be set apart
from the traditional subjects of the artists fromher region, by always
portraying her homeland from her personal point of view. Rosa Canto
paints as she feels and she does not dwell upon the perfection of each
stroke. She considers her work to be a journey, one thatgets better with
each piece that she paints. Rosa Canto is a young artist and, therefore,
has not participated in many exhibitions. However, her work can be found
in private collections in Spainand Internationally.
