From winning recognition at age four in Sardinia, to his degree in modern literature, he has always loved to combine his interests in art and literature. Entranced by books and magazines his parents brought home to the early influences of Disney to Japanese anime to the golden age of Italian illustration to the everlasting influences of Ferenc Pintér, Canu’s wok as author, critic, art director, graphic designer, illustrator, and educator engage many avenues that make his art stand out.
