I am Enzo Canale Cohe. I live in Montevideo, Uruguay.

I received my degree as an architect in 2001, from the University of the Republic of Uruguay.

Architecture and art in general came to me from a very young age. In my family, of three generations of architects (both on my father's and my mother's side), you breathed architecture and all forms of artistic expression.

The libraries of my grandparents and uncles were a world to discover for me, since I could find great books on the history of art, photography, painting, sculpture and architecture, both classical and modern.

From the beginning of my studies, drawing and painting were directly linked when sketching the first lines of the project proposals for each year of career.

At the age of 25, during the architecture study trip, which takes place throughout much of the world, before receiving us, I had the opportunity to make direct contact with the works that I had seen in those books of my childhood.

I was capturing cities and towns through photography and also the sketches that I was making along the way. We didn't have much time to stop whenever we wanted, nor did the dynamics of the trip allow us to carry a lot of cargo, so a sketchbook and a set of black fibers were my tools to represent, quickly and concretely, what I saw. During those ten months of travel, through North America, Asia, North Africa and Europe, I also used to include drawings in the letters that I sent to my then girlfriend (today my wife) and my family, outlining some important point along the way. route.

After receiving and getting married, life went by: three children and different jobs arrived, demanding in time and dedication, which I combined with my love for painting and travel, in which I return to my roots from the sketches .

I have always been very fond of watercolor and its spontaneous mode of expression, so I have focused on it and its technique. Its ductility allows me to capture and capture the images that I have in my head. I belong to a generation of architects for whom the ideation sketch was the primary way to arrive at the concept that was sought. I also apply this to painting, since I always start with a study of what I intend to represent, until I reach the final idea. I can say that my two passions, architecture and painting, are constantly nurtured and complemented.

Already close to fifty, as I am today, I can dedicate myself with more time and experience to painting which, as I already mentioned, was always present in my life.

I hope you like my work ...
