The work of the Canadian artist Kyle Stewart immediately attracts attention. An excellent draftsman, eclectic and great artist, Kyle Stewart, with his characteristic attention to detail, color and texture, creates impressive canvases.
Stewart was born in 1974 in a rural community near the town of St. Thomas (Canada). The future artist was educated at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, located in the northwestern part of Ontario. It's no exaggeration to say that Stewart absorbed art, literally, with his mother's milk. Kyle was born into a creative family: his mother is an artist, and his father is good at a pottery wheel. Despite the fact that Kyle was not going to follow in the footsteps of his parents, his talent was hard to miss.
During his university years, the young man was mainly focused on drawing. So, working on portraits, the artist gradually honed his skills. After spending some time visiting a friend in Spain, the artist became imbued with the work of Antoni Gaudi and the Mediterranean nature. “My oil paintings of that period were created under the inspiration from communication with the unusual natural landscapes of Spain. And, of course, these paintings are imbued with the impression of Gaudi architecture. But my intention was not to reproduce nature literally. My task was to create my own artistic environment,”says the artist.
The artist currently lives and works in Toronto, and his work can be seen at various art exhibitions in many art galleries in the country. Stewart has successfully held two solo exhibitions at the Muse Gallery in Toronto, and has also participated in exhibitions such as the Toronto Art Expo and One of a Kind.
Another talented artist, Italian Carmelo Blandino is known for his "flower" canvases. The tenderness of the petals and the charm of the lines - the flowers on his early canvases look as if they were alive.
