Enrique Cattaneo
Enrique Cattaneo (b. 1946, Mexico City) is a minimalist painter, editor, and professor based in Cuernavaca. His work is characterized by textured planes divided by the horizon and a subdued palette of grays and ochres, reflecting a mature aesthetic.
Inspired by his travels on the roads of Mexico and the world, Cattaneo's landscape-oriented work is a product of his imagination. He primarily uses a square format on canvas or wood, mixing sand with oil paint to create texture in the foregrounds while working more subtly on ethereal planes. As a Research Professor at UAEM, he combines his artistic creation with teaching and publishing, also exploring graphic techniques such as etching, woodcut, and screen printing.
