Personal

About Me:: GEORGE CALLE. I am a painter and sculptor. Born in Cuenca, Ecuador on May 19, 1966.I studied at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto Canada. My work is Contemporary and of high emotional content. Each piece is a unique expression of being, that is to say the distinct life moments that have left impressions on me. My work reflects a personal state of continuous evolution. Constantly in search of new mediums and materials, I am an innovative artist who crosses boundaries. My strength lays in the utilization of discarded materials and objects that are little use to others. These surplus metals have become an imaginary staple for me. As my pieces are reflective of moments in time that triggered their inception, my work is a journey of poignant footprints in the human experience. My view of life as a gradual development is also a dominant force in my pieces, as I often do not utilize a material until what I term the right moment. The Right Moment being my signature creative trademark, and only then does the fusion of emotion and material occur. My work is currently displayed in many corporate and private collections. Some of more significant locales include Museo de Artes Aborigenes, Banco del Pacifico, Orange County Court house Orlando Florida. I am a elected member of The Ontario Society of Artists, past member of the Orlando Visual artist League, a current member of Fundarte latino America and member of the Weston Collective in Toronto. I have received many awards, most notably the latino America First Prize Sculpture Award bestowed in 2006 and the AT%T Financial Services Organization Award Bestowed in 1994 in Orlado, Florida.
