San
Canessa

San Canessa is an abstract painter from El Salvador working with water, ink and yupo paper.

Their work is an intuitive dance, an improvisation between material and memory, a process of internal and external cartography in which emotional, neurological, and spiritual landscapes are surveyed.

San explores water as DNA, collaborating and documenting time through its currents, queering landscapes and capturing the vibration and energy of water in motion. The conducting of liquid and ink, resolve in a visual record of where and how the two have been.

The way to explore the inner world with no boundaries is through liquid and water. Their work is an invitation to commune with Water as a vessel of self-discovery and journey into the collective subconscious.

San’s studies in psychology at California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, CA and postgraduate degree in plastic arts at Glasgow School of Art in Glasgow, Scotland have been vehicles of evolution for their visual and contemplative proposal.
