Jo Galang

Visual Artist / Painter

Canada

Masterfully capturing the intrinsic beauty of nature, Jo Galang paints with a characteristic passion that soulfully radiates true-to-life light and color. Jo’s broad subjects range from landscapes and flowers to wildlife and figures. “I am fascinated by the power of art, and how it can dramatically change the way we see our environment. That’s the magic behind the paintbrush: art offers us a chance to see our world differently, from an artist’s point of view.” “Creating art empowers me to effectively convey the beauty and magnificence of everyday life. My goal is to capture the moments in my life, using art as a way to see the world with a more colourful viewpoint. The emotional connection to my daily experiences, exploring the beauty of nature through landscape and floral painting, as well as animal portraiture has become the sole drive behind everything I create.”
