PAINTER'S WILL BE
It is appropriate that I speak of a man born with a stigma on the forehead in the
manner of the characters in Herman Hesse, a man who came into the world
with tattooed loins by misfortune, with all ballots to be a loser and that however,
stood a good day for pitchers, barricaded himself behind a canvas and decided
to win the game to the accidents. Vito called Garcia Cano. It Extremadura,
although he no longer recognizes that the perfect circle border and black pupils
of her two children. He does not know borders. Do not really know next to
nothing, because it contains twelve hours in his studio to do just that, for the
world to slip through without rubbing your back and leave behind a mist
clouding the glass color rough of his canvases.
(Florian Recio, writer)

to be shared worldwide. (East & West Gallery)
