Carlo Cosentino, P.S.C., I.A.F. was born in Montreal in 1958 and knew since he was five years old that he was going to be an artist. He took art classes at Studio Salette in Montreal and later completed a D.E.C. in Illustration-Drawing at the CEGEP of Ahuntsic. He did further training by doing internships with well known artists Mike Fuller, Mike Stockdale and Mitchel Kotansky.

Carlo Cosentino developed his talent for art by working as a commercial illustrator and, progressively, as a painter. He now explores oil painting, watercolour, pastel and bronze sculpture.

Since 1990, he has been awarded numerous international prizes in Canada and the United-States. He exhibits regularly on both sides of the border. His works are part of important corporate collections such as Imperial Tobacco, IBM Canada, The Gilles Villeneuve’s family, Seagrams, etc…
