About the Item
"The arrows in the back of the figure symbolizes the amount of times the individual has fallen in love" -Artist Statement
Carlos Antonio Rancaño was born in Miami, FL. from Cuban/Panamanian parents. After graduating Cum Laude from MIU with a Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design, he started his career in Advertising. Even though he was always keen to drawing, it was the strict rules of design that gave way to his paintings. The free spirit that lives in his work is a direct response to the more simplistic approach of Graphic Design.His work is saturated with bright, warm colors and sharp, rigid brush strokes serving as a pedestal to the subjects in his work. Spreading from an array of themes, like bold portraits of women to African child soldiers, his work is never well-worn.
Carlos Antonio has participated in various exhibitions across South Florida, as he continuous to establish himself as a premier artist.
Artist Statement:
I love capturing introspection. These moments of self analysis or soul searching are evident in my oil paintings. I like to think that when the viewer sees one of my paintings that they start a dialogue with the subject.
I’ve seen instances where the viewer intently looks at the portrait in an attempt to decipher the emotions the subject portrays. It’s at this moment where the subject becomes a reflection of the viewers own sentiment.

He studied in Madrid and with Léon Bonnat at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1868, after travelling and participating several times in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts, he returned to Paris and settled there. At first, he painted historical scenes, but later turned to genre scenes and portraits in the Academic style. Following the death of Marià Fortuny, he moved to Rome at the invitation of the Madrazos, Raimundo and Ricardo, taking Fortuny's place at their studio through 1875 and attending classes at the Spanish Academy in Rome. He heard Wagner's music for the first time in 1876, after returning to Paris. Three years later, he travelled to Munich to hear a performance of The Ring of the Nibelungen.
