Ian Castañeda is a Filipino artist based in Toronto. Ian's paintings of paper invites viewers to appreciate beauty in imperfection. He creates sculptural compositions through the folds, creases, and wrinkles of the paper. By looking at it in a different light, we can discover fascinating lines, shapes, and forms. Thus, that simple piece of crumpled paper is not trash, but rather it can be considered a thing of beauty. Using oil paint to render the patterns formed by the wrinkles and creases, he gives life to the varied figures he finds within a piece of paper. The abstract quality of the folds allows a myriad of themes to unfold before the viewer's eyes. For more of Ian's work, please visit his website.
