André Kano
André Kano was born in S. Paulo, Brazil. Strongly influenced by his father’s chosen profession as a painter, he showed a remarkable talent for drawing at an early age. Before leaving Brazil, Kano worked both as an illustrator and as a graphic designer, professional activities he continued to pursue subsequent to his arrival in Portugal.
Despite his professional focus in the area of graphic design, André Kano never quite forgot that his true passion was for painting. It was through this activity that he was enabled to break free of the creative constraints imposed by his professional life.
The resultant sense of freedom allowed his creative imagination to flow unrestrained. Their features are revealed as colour creates rhythm, generates texture and moulds light itself to capture more than the senses alone are capable of.
