Cantor’s paintings are a biographical exploration of the self, his work is a collection of
existential thoughts, phrases, memories and experiences that create a vocabulary personal
and specific to his own history; his Latin American heritage, his time spent away and his
experience as an immigrant.
Working from memory, Cantor’s compositions are romantic, idealised and often permeated
with a heavy sense of nostalgia resulting in paintings of all things relevant to him: places,
patterns, animals, people, still life, text, plants and food where the elements present work as
vessels for the artist’s thoughts, emotions and unfolding of his identity.
